Isui-en

Isui-en is a Japanese stroll garden in Nara, next to Tōdai-ji, made of two gardens: a front garden from the 17th century and a larger rear garden laid out in the Meiji era. Ponds, stepping stones and lawns borrow the view of Tōdai-ji's Great South Gate and Mount Wakakusa, and the Neiraku Art Museum stands on the grounds.
