The reflections on a still day are lovely

Carp live in the ponds

One of the garden's ponds

Straight ahead over the pond

This stream runs down to the pond

Trees line up here along the water

Peaceful as can be

Green is all around

There are small falls along that stream

Lichen grows slowly on the rocks

One of the tearooms

A fountain by the tearoom

Handsome bridges span the channels between ponds

Peaceful greenery and water

Late afternoon reflection

Watch the sky in the water

Near Atsuta-jingu shrine in southern Nagoya, Shirotori Garden is a beautiful traditional Japanese garden, with paths running around the banks of streams and ponds. Spacious and tranquil, the ponds and streams are connected by bridges and surrounded by immaculately tended trees and shrubs, which are reflected in the water. It's a wonderful place to escape the bustle of the city for an hour or two, and just stroll around at a leisurely pace, taking in the scenery and the restful atmosphere.
