Rainy Day at Fukushima's Jorakuen

A traditional garden hidden in the city

Jorakuen was designed and built by a master gardener who worked in Kyoto for many years.  Although built in the early 1980's, the garden has a very traditional feel.  Visitors can enjoy many different views throughout the year due to changing seasons.  It is most beautiful in fall and during the June iris festival.

The garden is difficult to find if you don't know where to look.
