Webmaster visited a Japanese garden Oyaku-en before last week.

Access: Tokyo (shinkansen 1:40) Koriyama (local train 1:20) Aizu-wakamatsu (bus 0:20) Oyakuen-iriguchi (walk 0:05) @
A big snow statue of dog in front of the entrance. Is this a guardian dog?
How does Japanese garden look like in snowing season? It’s silent and beautiful although it’s not colorful.
A stream
A half frozen pond
Three spotbill ducks (Anas zonorhyncha) in the pond
A thatched Ochaya-goten House covered with snow
The sun was also vailed by the cloud.
An arbor
Bamboo on the snow ground
The medicinal plant garden after which Oyaku-en was named is also under snow.
The silence in the garden
See you!
End.
