Japanese Garden

After following very confusing directions, we finally arrived at the Japanese garden. From the moment we walked in, there was a sense of calmness in the air. Although the garden was full of tourists and locals, I felt like I was the only one there. I had previously imagined what a traditional Japanese garden would be like and this exceeded my expectations. My head was clear and my body was relaxed as I walked through the garden. At the end of the experience I thought to myself, typical. Only the Japanese could create something like this. Only across the large brick fence was the hustle and bustle of Hiroshima city, yet inside was clam and tranquil. The two extremes of Japan.
