Iso-watari at Kiyosumi Teien Japanese Garden

Thu, April 28, 2011, by Muza-chan

One of the attractions in Kiyosumi Teien, the Japanese garden from Fukagawa, Tokyo, is the collection of rocks.
Collected from many places in Japan, a part of these rocks was used to decorate the shores of the lake, while another part was used to create a magnificent stepping stone pathway called Iso-watari, which crosses a part of the lake.

In the background, you can also see the teahouse, built in 1909 for the visit of Herbert Kitchener, which was received as a national guest.
