A Japanese Garden Designed in Harmony with Nature – Experience the Four Seasons of Shinshu
The garden at Ryoan KAWAKI was designed by a Kyoto-based master gardener, renowned for creating temple gardens.
It harmonizes with the rich natural surroundings of Shinshu, offering a serene space where traditional Japanese beauty comes to life.
White gravel, moss-covered stones, and gently swaying trees reflect the changing seasons, calming the hearts of all who visit.
