a. Rocks in stream, Ritsurin park.

b. Bridge, Ritsurin park.

c. Moss pond, Ritsurin park.

This garden is very famous, and one of the most beautiful in Japan. It is very large, and affords the visitor long, peaceful walks through forested areas, around iris and lotus ponds, and across many typical bridges. The moss streams are particularly beautiful. It is also populated by many herons and ibis, and other large water birds.
