Chiran's samurai gardens, Hirayama Ryoichi Garden

Fri, February 8, 2019, by Muza-chan

Each of the gardens in the Chiran Samurai District has something special… The design of the Hirayama Ryoichi garden was inspired by the top of the Omogatake mountain, which can be seen in the distance. To harmonize with the mountain, the azalea bushes were perfectly trimmed in the shape of hills and mountains.
