 Nature in the city – natural beauty or ecological necessity?

Japan, in view of historical facts, has repeatedly stood on the threshold of an environmental crisis. Nevertheless, the country managed to cope with most of the problems in this area thanks to the careful attitude to the Institute of Nature.

The historical garden Tinjan-so is considered to be one of the positive examples of preserving the natural beauty of Japan. The area, named as Tsubakiyama (Camellias’ Mountain) gained its name due to the wild camellias grown there. Precisely Camellia is an iconic symbol of Japan, these plants are able to bloom even in winter.

The surviving pagoda delights the eye by its grandeur and indescribable beauty. It was brought to the garden in 1925 from Hiroshima. According to legend, the pagoda was built by monks without a single nail approximately in 802-852.

The historic garden on Camellias’ Mountain has long been a popular destination for eco tourists from around the world. This circumstance only confirms the fact that it is possible to maintain natural and historical beauty in urban conditions.
