In this beautiful Japanese-style garden, you can sit in the corridor under the eaves overlooking Ruocao Mountain, and offer preferential treatment to foreign tourists to show their passports and enter the park for free. Do you think Nara people are super Buddhists? If you are a Japanese tourist, you have to spend another 250 yen to buy a ticket. Do you want to know how beautiful Ji Cheng Garden, known as Nara Back Garden, is? Then come and have a look!
Nara people are proud of the famous Japanese gardens.
This Ji Cheng Garden, built in 19 18, is not well known to foreign tourists because of its low-key management and little publicity, but it is actually stunning in beauty, showing the description of "one flower, one world, one tree and one bodhi" incisively and vividly, without losing the high style of the three famous Japanese gardens, and it is definitely a free trip without regret. Originally owned by the people, this garden is now taken over by the Nara county government and was designated as the tangible cultural property of Nara county on 20 1 1.
The entrance to Ji Cheng Garden is a long and narrow passage.
From top to bottom, you can feel a fresh and quiet feeling.
Enjoy the scenery, flowers and moss, where you can enjoy endless beauty.
Ji Cheng gardens are mainly divided into three parks: pool garden, moss garden (teahouse) and tea garden. After entering the park, the first thing you see is the pool garden, a quiet pond surrounded by green plants. Although the main house in the garden can't be visited, the corridor under the open eaves provides visitors with the opportunity to sit down and enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly. On sunny days, they can still sit by the pond and enjoy it.
Wakayama in Nara can be seen in the garden of the pond.
Visitors can sit in the corridor under the eaves and overlook the beautiful scenery at will.
Follow the winding path, bypass the small bridge and enter the second park, that is, "Moss Garden (Tea Room)". This park refers to the groundwater layer of Nara Park, which creates a large piece of thick green moss in a special geographical environment, which looks both healing and lovely. The teahouse in the center of the park is an exchange place for ancient Japanese literati to drink tea and recite poems. Bright water and simple tea room reflect each other.
There are many green trees planted in the small park, which show different styles with the changes of seasons.
Walking along the winding path, you can vaguely find the pool and main house surrounded by green trees.
Tea room is an indispensable element in Japanese gardens.
From the outside, you can see the simple decoration inside (not open to the entrance)
The winding river next to the teahouse, thick moss, is very healing.
Moss is dotted with a little bit of fallen red camellia, which is even more green.
Through the path next to the teahouse, there are large green lawns and giant pine trees with broken stones.
Simple thatched roofs and dense pine trees are very beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds.
The existence of the last "tea garden" is like adding colorful colors to the whole Japanese garden with green tones. With camellia as the head, many flowers and trees with four distinct seasons are planted in the park. On a warm day, sitting in the pavilion in the park, looking at the flowers and plants that are blooming hard under your feet, rethinking the meaning and spiritual satisfaction of a better life!
Before arriving at the tea garden, all the plants were mainly evergreen trees, and only here were lovely flowers added.
The four seasons are full of different flowers, and the beauty of red, yellow and green is touching.

On weekdays, there are few tourists in Ji Cheng Garden. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can make an appointment and sit leisurely in the garden to experience the quiet time of slow life. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring; In the rainy season, the ground is covered with green moss; The pine and cypress in the autumn garden set off the bright red maple leaves; It is snowy in winter, and all the four seasons in Japan are concentrated in this small and beautiful exquisite garden. There is no noise here, only the natural harmony of sunshine, air, flowers and water, and free admission service is provided for foreign tourists. After the next visit to the world heritage Dongda Temple in Nara, I suggest that you can detour to Jichengyuan to experience the simple and luxurious beautiful forest scenery limited by Nara and deeply feel the beauty of Nara!
