The , also known as "the three most famous gardens in Japan" are considered to include Kenroku-en in Kanazawa, Koraku-en in Okayama and Kairaku-en in Mito.〔Lewis, Caroline. ( "Kenrokuen Garden Kanazawa," ) JapanVisitor.com; (Koraku-en ), Japan-Guide.com; and〕 The conception of gardens in a group of three is found elsewhere; for example, in the three gardens of Emperor Go-Mizunoo who abdicated in 1629. At ''Shūgakui rykū'', Go-Mizunoo maintained landscaped areas at separate elevations on the northeastern outskirts of Kyoto.〔Japan Society of London. (1989). ''Proceedings,'' Issues 112-120, p. 54.〕 * ''Kenroku-en'' means "garden which combines six characteristics"〔("Kenroku-en," ) Ishikawa Prefecture, 2003.〕 – the six aspects considered important in the notion of an ideal gardens: spaciousness, serenity, venerability, scenic views, subtle design, and coolness.〔Bornoff, Nicholas. (2008). ( ''National Geographic Traveler Japan,'' p. 150. )〕 * ''Koraku-en'' means "garden of pleasure after", which is a reference to a saying attributed to Confucius—explaining that a wise ruler must attend to his subjects' needs first, and only then should he consider his own interests.〔("Koraku-en," ) GoJapanGo.com; ("Kairaku-en," ) Japan National Tourist Organization (JNTO).〕 * ''Kairaku-en'' means "a garden to enjoy with people." Nariaki Tokugawa who completed the garden, opened this private garden to the general populace. This was a novel concept which eventually led to the development of public parks.〔( Kairaku-en garden ), JapanAtlas.com〕 ==See also== * Three Views of Japan *Tourism in Japan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three Great Gardens of Japan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
