Okayama City in the Chugoku region, south west of Japan is home to the famous Korakuen Garden — literally translating to "garden of pleasure after". Korakuen gardens flow with serenity. Extensive lawns carpet the gentle slopes, extending time and again into the quiet waters to form miniature islands. The lotus pond, as if in compensation, stretches into the valleys, only breaking to form a waterfall or cascade over groups of rocks that dot the virgin landscape. Wide paths crisscross the lawn leading to occasional teahouses strategically oriented to take in the best views.
