Rikugien Gardens

Sunny Sunday is always a special day for me.^-^
Rikugien Gardens are the most beautiful Japanese style gardens ...
Rikugien (six poems garden) was built in 1702 and there're 88 scenes reproduced from the poems.



This is the view from our picnic place.

In the Tsutsuji Chaya:

Some yellow leaves already showing Autumn is coming...


Of course, bamboos are always presented ...






This is to prevent leaves get into the drenage hole...

In front of Sekirei ishi:

Isn't it really beautiful?

While the tea was prepared:



An old lady with her mp3 player... click on the picture and look at the big image... it's worth ;-)
