The Three Great Gardens of Japan Posted by Ginny on Nov 13, 2010 in Uncategorized
The Sanmeien (三名園,) are three of Japan’s famous gardens. Let’s take a look at these three gardens.
Kenrokuen (兼六園) means “six attribute garden”. Some of the attributes that make this garden special are : spaciousness, seclusion, serenity and scenic subtleness.
Kōrakuen (後楽園) means “garden of after -pleasure”. The daimyo Ikeda Tsunamasa (池田綱政) used the garden as a place to entertain important guests.
Kairakuen (偕楽園) means “garden to be enjoyed together”. The most beautiful season to visit the garden is when the cherry blossoms bloom.

I highly recommend kenrokuen. It is a great park and probably the only thing worth seeing in Okayama. It’s great for a nice stroll.
When I first came to Japan I spent a week in Okayama and I visited the park a lot. Great videos of all three though!

Some lovely gardens here. I’ve always wanted to see Sakura in Japan.
Thanks for posting this, it’s not easy for me to find these videos. 🙂
