As I organize all my recipes that I have been accumulating the last few weeks, I wanted to post some photographs I took from my trip back home to Yokohama a couple months back.
This is "San-kei-en" 三渓園, located in Honmoku, Yokohama. It is a beautiful Japanese garden. I've known about it, heard about it all my life, but had only been once (for a school trip back in elementary school). This time, when I visited, I was able to feel and see the actual beauty of this garden. I took it for granted all my life! I wish I had gone more frequently. It truly is a wonderful place to visit. I was able to reconnect with Japanese culture and appreciate the country I was born in. A 15 to 20 minute drive from Yokohama station is all it takes. I didn't know I was so close to something so pure, natural and breathtaking. Entry fee is cheap; a couple hundred yen (few dollars). Since it is located in the middle of a residential area, I highly recommend visiting by car. They have a decent parking lot so you shouldn't find any trouble. The park is also accessible by public transportation. 1 bus from Yokohama station. To get to the park, you'll have to walk/drive through narrow residential roads; which also are unique and fun. :) Address: 58-1 Honmokusannotani, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture 231-0824, Japan Access:

I love the pictures. So pretty. I've been here before and I really want to go there again! I remember seeing the tall bamboo trees there...it was so beautiful. Visiting there is like jumping back in time!

I've never been to Japan, although is a long-time dream of mine. Mostly, I would like to visit the most traditional towns and the lovely gardens. I think is just a beautiful and elegant country, full of tradition and gorgeous places. Thank you for this post*
