Ishiyamadera's Muyu-en Pond Garden

Beauty to calm your spirit and feed your soul

View framed by the windows of the pavilion

I could watch koi swimming for hours

Red bridges cross the koi pond

Stepping stones lead past irises to a waterfall

Blue irises on the edge of the pond gardens

Stepping stones lead between beds of irises

The pavilion is a simple wooden structure with windows all around

Within the grounds of Ishiyamadera there are many different areas and points of interest, but one of my favorites is Muyu-en. You can walk over red bridges across a series of iris edged ponds full of colorful koi, and follow the stepping stones to the small rocky waterfall, or you can just sit in the pavilion and drink in the beauty of the garden.
