Seiwa-en, or the "garden of pure, clear harmony and peace, is situated on 14 acres in St. Louis and is the largest Japanese garden in North America.

You can tour the garden via the offered pathways, which guide the experience of the garden determining viewpoint, focus, and route, or by selecting areas from the garden map. You can also choose to directly view the garden's features—lanterns, water basins, waterfalls, structures, and plants, trees and flowers. The photos, like the garden itself, are very attractive and include a short caption. |
