Quiet moments in garden poetry and paintings

#TokyoItinerary Day 1: The Poetic Bloom of Nature In the morning, I arrived at Tokyo's Rikugien Gardens. This garden, inspired by the aesthetics of the Edo period, perfectly captures the poetic beauty of mountains and rivers. Walking along the winding paths, lush trees and delicate stone lanterns evoke the feeling of stepping into an ancient painting. A small island in the center of the pond is reflected in the water, and a gentle breeze creates picturesque ripples on the water. I ascended the Fujishiro Pass to overlook the entire garden, appreciating the layered beauty of the scenery. In the afternoon, I enjoyed a cup of matcha and a sweet dessert at the garden teahouse. The interplay of sweet and bitter tastes made time seem to slow down. Day 2: A Collision of City and Art The next day, I traveled to Odaiba and boarded the Yurikamome light rail, gazing out at the breathtaking views of Tokyo Bay. The Rainbow Bridge resembled a ribbon of light connecting the city and the sea. Upon arrival, I visited the Digital Art Museum and immersed myself in a world of digital art intertwined with light and shadow. The interactive installations made me feel like I was part of the art, awe-inspiring and empowering. At sunset, I strolled in Odaiba Seaside Park. The setting sun reflected on the sea, and the fusion of city and nature brought a perfect end to the trip.
