The Japanese Hill and Pond Stroll garden, “Tsukiyama,” is over 40 acres – the largest Japanese Gardens in the nation.
Entered through a Torii Gate, a meandering walk descends subtly around seven spring-fed ponds with islands, bridges, massive boulders and rocks.
Collections of stone Japanese lanterns, natural stones and Japanese Maples provide sculptural interest.
Pagoda structures and a zigzag bridge add architectural interest.
Reflections of clouds, waterfalls, ripples, butterflies, birds and fish provide movement in the garden. Impressive stones speak of stillness and serenity.
