Om
Snabba fakta: This garden was a gift from Japan to commemorate the 1977 visit of their royal family. Each element from the stone lanterns to the pruned pines follows centuries-old principles of Japanese landscape design.
Höjdpunkter: The garden hides an ingenious optical illusion: the main pond appears to drain into the sky at its far end, a trick of carefully angled shoreline and submerged rocks. Only 10 percent of visitors notice the subtle bamboo water spout hidden behind the guest house, a traditional device called a shishi-odoshi that clacks against stone to scare away deer.
Insidertips
- Walk clockwise around the pond, the intended viewing direction that reveals each scene in sequence.
- Visit the tiny thatched-roof teahouse through the garden's back gate only open on select weekends.
- Skip the gift shop at the entrance and save your money for green tea served at the teahouse instead.
- Bring a light jacket even in summer: tall cedars keep the paths several degrees cooler than downtown.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Vancouver, Canada, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
