 Garden and Culture of Japan -
Autumn Leaves Special
Japan tour package featuring
Japanese gardens in autumn.
Japanese gardens are considered areas where the
gods could manifest themselves.
Peaceful, unique, and always beautiful, gardens
serve as places to meditate and commune with
nature. These are places where the eye can enjoy
?Eborrowed" landscapes from distant areas and
breathtaking vistas. Each component of the garden,
from stone to moss to tree, has been carefully
chosen for its form, texture, and color to create
an atmosphere of tranquility and contemplation. In
addition to the distinction of being Japan?fs
cultural center, Kyoto boasts many of the most
famous gardens in the country.
On our tour, we take advantage of both public
and private gardens and have included many
different styles of gardens, including stroll
gardens, landscape gardens, and pond-and-island
gardens. Each type has its own distinctive charm
and beauty. End of November is an impressive time
