]]> This is Hakone Gardens, a beautiful Japanese garden the the Saratoga foothills. If you come here during the weekday and there are few people, you can truly find peace and calm here. One of my favorite spots is the bamboo garden. I love laying on a bench, looking upwards towards the trees and watching them sway in the wind. Very Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon-like. ;)
