Korakuen gardens Okayama, Sawa-no-ike Pond, Yuishinzan Japanese garden

---

Yuishinzan Hill was built when Ikeda Tsugumasa took over from his father Ikeda Tsunamasa. It changed the flat landscape of the garden, giving it a more sculptured aspect. Yuishin-do is located on one side of the hill, and plants such as azaleas and rhododendrons are planted there to match the rock work on the slopes. Their seasonal red and white flowers adorn the area.
