It's been a year but the memories are still fresh in our mind. On the 3rd day in Kyushu island, we've had the opportunity to visit one of the 'must-see' spots in Kumamoto City.
The park which was built in 1632, has a replica of Mount Fuji, Lake Biwa, Izumi Shrine, Inari Shrine and a Noh stage. The fresh springs in the garden release clean, cold water, which flows there from Mt Aso (here ) via underground currents. The garden was built by the 3rd Lord of Hosokawa (Tadatoshi Hosokawa) as a tea retreat rendezvous. Actually, the name "Jojuen" was named after a character in a poem written by Tao Yuanming and this garden took about 80 years to complete !!
