A Japanese garden in Tokyo --- Shogun and his favarite feudal lord enjoyed it in the 18th century.

Just in the center of Tokyo, you'll find a Japanese garden, where you feel more and more calm and relaxed as you walk around.  This garden, called "Rikugien garden", is a good example of a "stroll garden" that Shogun and feudal lords enjoyed the miniature of nature in the 18th century.
Now people also love to visit the garden, looking for the place where they can keep a peaceful mind.  This is located close to Komagome station of Yamanote line of Japan Railway East (JR east).

Following pictures are showing its beauty in autumn, but the garden  reveals various seasonal aspects of nature it has enbraced for more than centuries.
