| Although it 
	does contain any number of flowers, it seems more like a highly sculpted, 
	almost manicured landscape than a garden as we would understand it.  
	Considered by many to be the ultimate Japanese garden, it charges 
	accordingly (650 yen), but obviously assumes you expect your money's worth, 
	thus advising that you might manage a quick visit of little more than half 
	an hour.  
	 As the entire place is only about a hundred metres 
	long, you could probably do it in a couple of minutes, but then the point is 
	to take in the perfection at a leisurely pace, preferably from the tea shop 
	which overlooks the scene and is, ironically entered directly from the 
	street without having to pay the admission fee at all.  |
