In the magazine "leaf" November 2016 issue was an article about Murin-an, a designated Place of Scenic Beauty. The garden was introduced as part of the "hints to a wonderful lifestyle" about the cultural scenic landscape of the Okazaki neighborhood. Beautiful photos of the garden include the occasion when the Mayor of Kyoto visited Murin-an. If you are ever in Kyoto, please enjoy the trickling stream from the Lake Biwa Canal that is drawn into this tranquil garden at Murin-an.
