Japan Garden Tour Focusing on Kyoto and Takayama

For travellers who appreciate beautiful gardens, few destinations are as rewarding as Japan. And two places in particular, Kyoto and Takayama, offer very different ways to experience the Japanese approach to landscape and design.

Kyoto is the obvious starting point. For more than a thousand years, the city was Japan’s imperial capital, and its temples, villas and gardens reflect centuries of changing tastes. From carefully composed Zen rock gardens to ponds, moss-covered grounds and landscapes designed to frame the changing seasons, Kyoto offers an extraordinary concentration of Japanese garden traditions.

Takayama provides a wonderful contrast. Set among the mountains of central Japan, this attractive historic town is known for traditional wooden architecture, temples and a slower pace of life. Here, landscaped spaces blend naturally with forested hills and mountain scenery. A visit to Takayama also opens the door to the rural beauty of the surrounding Hida region.

Laurus Travel’s Japan garden tours are designed for travellers who want more than a quick photograph of a famous garden. We allow time to walk, observe and appreciate the details.

In Japan, a garden is rarely just decoration. It is part of the culture, and sometimes the quietest places tell the most interesting stories.
