       I would like to introduce the Adachi Museum of Art in Japan. This picture is fall season. Autumn colors are beautiful. But I don't think this garden is the best season. It's reason because I think it's beautiful that all four seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, summer of green leaves, autumn leaves, and winter snow. The Adachi Museum’s gardens have been ranked as number one. This marks the 13th consecutive year in the number one spot. It was compiled by the Journal of Japanese Gardening, a US magazine that focuses on Japanese gardens.  Despite the museum of art, the garden is number one. Do you think you know where this garden is? You would think the famous temples and gardens of Kyoto. It's regretfully different. The museum is located in Shimane Prefecture. It's in a place that's very far from Kyoto. You would think here people manage the only garden. However, They also manage to the other side of the mountains. It's to harmonize the garden and mountains. For example, when they don't like trees in the mountains, they go to cut it there. They divided into two teams: Mountain team, Garden team. Mountain team goes to the mountain and look for the tree to use the GPS. Although they go to near the tree, it's difficult to distinguish the one tree. So they rely on Garden team. First, Mountain team shakes the tree which they think noticeable. Second, They contact Garden team. Third, Garden team makes sure the moving tree to use telescope. If it's wrong, Garden team is an indication to Mountain team. And they also shake the tree. It's repeated. Here people have done that you don't believe it. They wash all the white stone every year. It's keeping the white of the stone in doing so. You won't believe, but this is a fact. Such a garden is no other.  You should see it, and must be surprised by the beauty of the garden.

  1. Japanese gardens are very impressive. I always like to visit them in other countries; there are actually a couple of nice ones in Alberta (Lethbridge and near Edmonton).

    Corrections:

    Do you think you know where this garden is?

    1. I searched both Lethbridge and Edmonton using the Internet. Both were beautiful Japanese gardens.
