After our visit to the Tomori Stone Lion, we stopped off to explore Fukushu-En Gardens--- a peaceful, gorgeous Chinese garden in the middle of the city!
This wall with all its character surrounds the grounds.

We entered the gardens by walking through this little building and were greeted by a sweet little Japanese lady sitting at the reception desk who simply wanted to know our home country.
These two shisas stand guard to the gardens.
The architecture is fascinating!
When we were visiting Chinatown in Singapore (http://wanderingweavers.blogspot.jp/2010/02/singapore-part-3-chinatown.html) we learned the Chinese years of our births. On this little bridge there was a post for each Chinese year, so Rodney had his picture with the rat and me with the goat.
And, of course, in true Rodney tradition--- life imitates art!
This is the crown jewel of the garden...Notice the rock stairway on the left that leads up to the pagoda and the 'doorway' in the center of the picture....
....leads in behind the waterfall!
This garden is a lovely place to visit!!!
