Shrines
A large number of shrines exist in Japan. Each shrine is an important place where Japan's traditional culture and history have been passed down over time.
Gardens
Japanese gardens are traditional gardens that resemble miniature idealized landscapes in a highly abstract and stylized way. These gardens convey the interpretations of the ideal natural landscape that was perceived by the Japanese in the cultural, social, and environmental mirror of the times.
