Japanese Lounge
Japanese Lounge
Japanese garden based on the concept of
"Satoyama landscape"
"Satoyama landscape"
The garden, inspired by the Japanese satoyama landscape, features a variety of trees that are carefully shaped and presented in an elegant manner. Seasonal flowers are strategically arranged to allow guests to experience the changing seasons of Japan, from the budding of fresh greenery to autumn leaves and blooming flowers. As you look down at your feet in the sunlight filtering through the trees, you'll notice a lush growth of wildflowers like mountain laurel, azaleas, and dodan azaleas. To symbolize the natural flow of water, a Tsukubai representing "water gushing from the source" is placed at the garden's center, while a karesansui technique using sand patterns creates the illusion of rippling water and a gentle river flow in the foreground. The garden showcases the shimmering beauty of overflowing water and the varying expressions of plants throughout different times of the day and seasons. Immerse yourself in a tranquil and relaxing stay surrounded by seasonal flowers and plants in this Japanese satoyama-inspired garden.
