A Visit to the Hakone Japanese Gardens in Saratoga

Thomas & Eleanor love playing among the Bamboo

Gaye singing an extract from the Mikado in the garden and Thomas finds this fascinating.

The Bamboo gets taller and taller


And in the pond there are small Turtles

We actually visited a wee bit too early in the year as in another 2 or 3 weeks there will be a lot of blossom on the trees and shrubs.

Every Japanese garden has to have a bridge

She nearly fell in

Another week and this bush will be a mass of red flowers

San Jose valley in the distance

These also will be a spectacular display in a few days time
