Gyoraku-en, Japanese garden in Kawasaki, Japan.
Gyoraku-en features multiple ponds, rock formations, and carefully arranged plants that create patterns throughout its grounds in Fukuoka Prefecture.
The Buddhist monk Sesshu designed this garden during the 15th century while residing in Kawasaki during a period of civil unrest in Japan.
The name Gyoraku-en draws inspiration from Chinese poetry and translates to 'fish enjoying a garden', reflecting Japanese garden design principles.
Visitors can reach the garden by taking public transportation to Kawasaki Town, located between Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu City in Fukuoka Prefecture.
The garden incorporates specific landscaping methods developed by Sesshu, who gained recognition from UNESCO as a master of ink-and-wash painting.
