The garden was really nice and calm. It felt separated from the rest of the city. Hard to imagine that the train station was only like 5 mins away, yet it was peaceful here. Btw, love your site and photos. Got to see a lot of stuff you saw. Got hundreds of photos of the surrounding sites. Hope to find more cool places during my long-term stay in Japan.

A dragon with 5 claw is a symbol of the Emperor of China; dragons with 4 claws are symbols for Zhuhou (hereditary nobles); and dragons with 3 claws are symbols of Daifu who are high ranking officials (commoners). :) There are Chinese oriental dragons with 3 claws.

Are the gardens free to roam around or do you need to be a paying guest? Excellent pictures; as you say so tranquill considering how close it is to the hustle and bustle of city life.

You always take great pictures! One thing about the 'lion' it's actually a Chinese dog. We have two of those just like that at my school outside the library and everyone always thinks they are lions but they're really dogs :D These pics are beautiful! You always take great pictures!

I remember the Hotel New Otani has one very similar to this. A real contrast to the often boring building which is the hotel itself. This is a beautiful garden.
