The Japanese Stroll Garden places great importance on the path. Stroll gardens usually are quite large and have a pond in the central area encircled by a path or several ones which allow visitors to “stroll” the plantings. These gardens developed after the medieval period from the 17^th to 19^th centuries. Travel at this time was severely limited by the central government. Stroll garden paths like those of tea gardens elicit the sense of embarking on a journey. Unlike the tea garden, the journey is not an inward one. The experience transcends time and space enabling its visitors to venture to faraway places in times past and present.
