What we’re about
Kyoto Japanese Garden Club – A Deeper Understanding of Japanese Gardens
Japanese gardens are more than just beautiful landscapes—they are spaces for deep relaxation, harmony with nature, and energy replenishment. This group is for those who want to truly understand how Japanese gardens work—their structure, symbolism, and practical applications in daily life.
The group is led by Sasha, a master of the traditional art of Japanese gardens and a professional landscape designer, with decades of experience in both practice and academic research. Unlike typical garden visits, our activities provide expert-led insights into the history, design, and significance of these unique spaces.
What We Offer:
✅ Guided expert tours of Kyoto’s Japanese gardens
✅ Education on their design, function, and cultural significance
✅ Insights into the principles of Japanese landscape architecture
✅ A friendly community for garden enthusiasts to share experiences
✅ Understanding how Japanese gardens can enhance mental well-being and inner balance
✅ Don’t worry about language! We can communicate in English, Japanese, and other languages. I will use simple English and Japanese so that everyone can easily understand.
Professional garden tours are usually only available to those who already own or plan to commission a Japanese garden—an investment that requires significant resources. This group offers a rare opportunity to gain authentic, expert knowledge at an accessible price, regardless of your background.
