One of the representative traditional cultures of Japan, is surely the 日本庭園 Nihon Teien Japanese gardens. I’m sure you’re hoping to see them when you visit Japan, maybe at famous temples or shrines.

Did you know that Japanese gardens are not just one thing, and there are actually several categories of them depending on what era they were made?

So today, I will explain about the 5 kinds of Japanese gardens
that were born in different time periods. The 5 kinds of gardens were all created for various purposes and have different philosophies behind the art, so I hope you can enjoy watching this video till the end.

By watching this video not only will you be able to deepen your understanding towards Japanese history, but will also get to know the places you can go to in Japan to see each kind of garden. Even the oldest kinds of gardens that were born about a millennium ago still exist in Japan! After watching this video, please let me know in the comments which era had your favorite Japanese garden.
