Off the beaten track, not easily seen because in private or official hands, these are the "hidden gardens" of one of the world’s great historic cities. All the main types of Japanese garden are represented. First comes the pond garden, which on the grandest scale can be a match for the lake-wood-and-meadow parks of Western estates, and on a more modest scale still contains islands and bridges and pavilions.
