The Quiet Art of Kōrakuen
A Place Where Quiet Time Has Been Preserved for Three Centuries
We introduce Kōrakuen and Okayama Castle, two proud historical assets located in Okayama Prefecture. Many tourists who visit Japan specifically seek out Japanese gardens, and Kōrakuen is recognized as one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan.
In Japan, the quiet time spent in a garden has long been cherished as a part of the culture. Why do the Japanese favor this tranquility, and why are so many international travelers captivated by its charm? We explore the core of its appeal with photos from our visit.
