Shoto-en 松濤園

Official explanation

This modestly sized garden, established in the early 1970s and run by the widow of its founder, is fronted by a cozy, shop-like space that makes it particularly accessible to curious beginners. Inside, and extending out onto the street, is a selection of bonsai-related items at very affordable prices, including pots; small suiseki decorative rocks; and plates of wood called ji-ita that possess a subdued beauty. Behind the shop is the garden itself, where a wide variety of trees is cultivated in order for the proprietor to continue refining her craft. Smaller bonsai are accessibly priced, with hardy shinpaku (Japanese juniper) recommended for visitors to purchase.
