Kiyosumi is a traditional strolling garden surrounding a small lake where turtles and fish swim. Following the path around the lake opens up new vistas at every turn. The stepping stones and arched bridges are natural vantage points to admire the reflections of trees, stone lanterns, and the tea house. The garden was built in the 19th century, with a landscape of hills and dry waterfalls, enhanced by large rocks gathered from across Japan. #tokyo #steppingstones #teahouse
