Byodo-in 平等院
Byodo-in was built by Fujiwara no Yorimichi as a Buddhist Pure Land garden at his family's Villa in Uji, east of Kyoto. The only building of the palace that survives today is the Phoenix Hall 鳳凰堂. Completed in 1053, it was later converted a Buddhist temple. The Phoenix Hall sits on an island facing east where the statue of Amida Nyorai, carved by Jocho, greets the rising sun as he looks across the Pure Land Lake. At nearly a thousand years old, Phoenix Hall is one of the few surviving examples of Heian period architecture.

Infused with true Japanese design, the garden is meant to delight your senses.
Chion-in in Higashiyama 知恩院
The Hojo Garden is in the chisen kaiyushiki (garden which is designed around a pond) style and is said to have been designed in the early Edo (1600-1868) period by the monk Gyokuen, who was connected to garden master Kobori Enshu. The garden includes the Shinji-ike (Heart Character) Pond, the Aoi-an Teahouse, and the Tokugawa Gongendo Hall. The cherry blossoms in the spring, the fresh greenery in early summer, the reflection of the autumn foliage onto the Shinji-ike Pond, and the snowy scenery and clear air in the winter can all clearly be seen, and along with imposing view of the Higashiyama mountains in the background, the garden exudes the moods of the four seasons.

Like many Japanese-style gardens built in the 1950s and ‘60s, the one-acre Japanese-style garden within Descanso Gardens is a peaceful retreat and a collage of familiar elements that emulate a stroll garden, a pond-and-stream garden, a tea garden and teahouse, and a small raked-gravel garden (karesansui).
Dooleys’ Japanese Garden at Maymont
Situated at the base of the 45-foot, simulated waterfall, the original Japanese Garden encompassed a much smaller area than the present expanded garden. Probably conceived as part of the garden, the waterfall flows over a natural granite outcropping to provide a dramatic backdrop. The waterfall, like the cascade, was supplied by water from the Kanawha Canal pumped from the pump house adjacent to the pond up to the water tower.
Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden
