Hey Tammy,

At the heart of a Japanese garden is harmony with nature. Through the careful use of plants, stones, and water, areas of serene and quiet beauty emerge. These peaceful spots in the Garden lend themselves to meditation and contemplation. You may substitute plants from your hardiness zone, and still achieve a harmony with nature.

A catalogue of features "typical" of the Japanese garden may be drawn up without inquiring deeply into the aesthetic underlying Japanese practice. Typical Japanese gardens have at their center a home from which the garden is viewed. In addition to residential architecture, depending on the archetype, Japanese gardens often contain several of these elements:

Water, real or symbolic.
Rocks or stone arrangements (or settings).
A lantern, typically of stone.
A teahouse or pavilion.
An enclosure device such as a hedge, fence, or wall of traditional character.
A bridge to the island, or stepping stones.

Name of a tradtional Japanese style hotel or home?
Japanese style garden / 日本庭園(にほんていえん)

I'm going to Japan next month and I was hoping to stay at a place with a traditional look to it. I'm sure many of you have seen it on TV or pictures. These homes or shrines usually have a 'U' shaped curvature to it, with a Japanese garden and fountain placed in the middle. What are these types of places called?


A traditional Japanese inn is a Ryokan, however they come in all shapes and sizes, some with gardens without.

I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about, if you can provide a photo it would help a bit more.

I've just purchased a new home this is a pic of the front of it:
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o108/ capps0212/22425164.jpg
I am wanting to do a japanese style garden in the front... something very simple and basic and clean looking (I can't stand clutter).
I have no idea about landscaping and would like to do it myself but I don't know where to start.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
I would appreciate any help


Lorry load of small pebbles and lawn killer. Spread out pebbles and plant a few Japanese maples. OH! if you have a large pond build a bridge over it

    BBG's Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden was the first Japanese garden to be created in an American public garden. It was constructed in 1914 and 1915 at a cost of $13,000, a gift of early BBG benefactor and trustee Alfred T. White, and it first opened to the public in June 1915. It is considered to be the masterpiece of its creator, Japanese landscape designer Takeo Shiota (1881-1943). Shiota was born in a small Japanese village about 40 miles (64 km) from Tokyo, and in his youth spent years traversing Japan on foot to explore its natural landscape. He emigrated to the United States in 1907. The garden is a blend of the ancient hill-and-pond style and the more modern stroll-garden style, in which various landscape features are gradually revealed along winding paths. Its 3 acres (1.2 ha) contain hills, a waterfall, a pond, and an island, all artificially constructed. Carefully placed rocks also play leading roles. Among the architectural elements of the garden are wooden bridges, stone lanterns,...

    Home from rose city.. it was a really good trip. jesse and i drove down to portland on saturday morning. we met up with his friend jennifer and explored the saturday market a bit - it was fun but packed since it was their 1st weekend at their new expanded location. homemade coffee icecream with toffee bits for the win. then we wandered around a bit, and went to powells. i had never been there before - really! it was pretty cool. we all got some books. i think i could have settled for a good long while in the children's book room! i am a junkie for children's books. they have the best pictures, though! sunday morning we enjoyed the free breakfast - far superior to most free hotel breakfasts, then wandered hawthorne a bit - went to the yarn garden! they had the Diarufuran diakeito yarn i needed for the fit-n-flare trumpet skirt in knitting ligerie style - which i had such a hard time finding even online! so that was pretty awesome. (this is the skirt, by the way : trumpet skirt . then we went to the rose gardens and the japanese gardens - so beautiful and peaceful! then dinner and off back to seattle. it was a long drive home and i was nodding off - so it's a good thing jesse was driving. it was a great trip and it was just SO GOOD to get away and relax. i really like portland and i liked jesse's friend and we just had a really good time. we'll go back soon and see her again when she comes to seattle soon. we already have a list of things we want to do NEXT trip. next time we will take the train. it's great to live fairly close to a fun city like portland.
