Hamanako Garden Park (2) - International Garden

When the international event was held in 2004, gardens of different countries were made in the park. Even now, you can see many of them in the area “International Garden.” The first one is the Nepalese garden.

This is the inside of the garden. The greenery matched the color of the building well.

In this area, the buildings and the objects were sometimes more interesting than the plants. In front of the Indonesian garden, there were two stone statues. I wondered what they represented.

This is the Korean garden. On the top of the gate, I saw characters “友好之門“ that mean the “gate of friendship.”

The garden had a big ying-yang mark in front of an arbor. It reminded me of the national flag of Korea and the Chinese martial art tai chi.

There is also a garden of China. Many years ago, I took a picture of it on April 1 and sent it to my sister, saying “Now I’m in China.” The whole garden is so well made.

When you enter from this round gate,

you see an arbor and a pond on the right.

When I was in the arbor, a visitor standing next to me was feeding the carps.

On the opposite side, there is another arbor.

The waterside view is also nice.

In the English-style garden, there were more flowers.

Roses had a fragrant scent.

Another impressive western-style garden was that of Toscana, Italy.

The bushes were neatly trimmed.

I climbed up the stairs to have a better view over garden.

It was made symmetrically and beautiful.
