We want people in and outside of Japan to not only enjoy the beauty of Japanese gardens, but also to understand where they come from and why they were built. If more people around the globe learn to understand and love Japanese gardens, we hope that also Japanese people will rediscover the Japanese garden tradition.
We firmly believe in what is called Onko-chishin (温故知新) in Japanese – creating new things and discovering new truths by learning from history and tradition. We have the rare privilege to study Japanese garden culture on our job and it is our goal to share with others what we were allowed to learn.
You can watch our garden videos from all over Japan on YouTube. We are visiting gardens on a regular basis during all seasons and also film our work from time to time.
Real Japanese Gardens wants to inform through garden guides and explanational eBooks about the beauty of real Japanese gardens. View our page to find information about more than 100 gardens in Japan and use our original Garden Finder to search gardens by style, area or time period!
