Kyu Shiba Rikyu

Posted on 14 May 2009 by supergaijin

Kyu Shiba Rikyu is a traditional Japanese garden built on land reclaimed from the Tokyo Bay during the Edo period. The garden was opened to the public after the buildings were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. This is another tranquil spot and combines elements such as ponds and man-made hills to symbolize the sea and surrounding landscapes.
