Sankei en Japanese Garden, Yokohama 三渓園 根岸横浜

Sankeien is one of the less wellknown gardens nearby Tokyo and I write nearby because its not in Tokyo, not even really Yokohama, but outside Yokohama in the outskirts of a small town called Negishi. It s not so easy to get there (traintrainbuswalking from central Tokyo) but once you re there, you ll realize it was well worth the effort. It features a quite big lake (not just a small pond here ) a 3 story pagoda, several old traditional houses, plenty of variation in the landscape bonsa
