Koraku-in (后 楽 园) is a beautiful Japan...

Koraku-in (后 楽 园) is a beautiful Japanese garden at the foot of Okayama Castle and one of the main attractions of the city. It was built in 1687, and completed in 1700. These days it still looks very similar to when it was first constructed, but there have been some small subsequent changes made by the lords of the castle which owned it until 1884 (which it was made public). During World War II, the garden was destroyed, was restored quickly after that time by using gold paintings and prints of the Edo

Period.

Just to see these gardens is worth...

Solamente por ver estos jardines merece la pena ir a Okayama.

Excellent
Se puede llegar en tren directamente desde Kioto y un agradable paseo lleva hasta el lugar donde están estos jardines desde la estación. Dicen de Koraku-en que es uno de los tres jardines más bonitos de Japón. Nosotros no visitamos los otros dos, pero desde luego estos son una maravilla. Una de las características de estos jardines son sus amplias praderas salpicadas de estanques, algunos de ellos con carpas. Desde algunos lugares se ve el cercano castillo, y mientras se recorren los jardines se van viendo, por zonas, las distintas plantaciones. Hay té, bambú y diferentes árboles como cipreses. Una casa de té aquí, y una pequeño templo allá. En Koraku-en hay hasta un escenario de teatro no.
Just to see these gardens is worth going to Okayama. It can be reached by train directly from Kyoto and a pleasant walk leads to the place where these gardens are from the station. They say of Koraku-en that it is one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan. We do not visit the other two, but of course these are wonderful. One of the characteristics of these gardens are their wide meadows dotted with ponds, some of them with tents. From some places you can see the nearby castle, and as you go through the gardens you can see, by zones, the different plantations. There are tea, bamboo and different trees like cypresses. A tea house here, and a small temple there. In Koraku-en there is even a theater stage no.
