Roihuvuoren japanilaisvaikutteinen puutarha - Japan inspired garden
Situated among the apartment buildings at Roihuvuorentie 12-16 is a Japanese garden that was created almost entirely by hand. Built on a terraced slope that was once a slate quarry, the Japanese garden features a moon gate, bamboo fences, shingle shelters, stone arrangements, sand waves and a rocky creek that represents the sea of life. In springtime a breathtakingly beautiful cherry tree orchard flowers on the slope. Close by is also the Cherry park (Kirsikkapuisto).
