「熊本県民総合運動公園・和風庭園」熊本県熊本市

熊本県民総合運動公園の和風庭園は、同公園の昭和５３年開園とほぼ同時期に築庭された。東西に伸びる細長い土地に池泉回遊式庭園が造られている。池は西側のひょうたん池と遣水でつながる丸く大きな東池に分かれ、さらに。東西ともに池には土盛りされた島はない。西のひょうたん池の西端に滝を設け水を落としている。滝は美しく音楽的にカーブしながら５段〜７段に分かれており龍門瀑を表していると思われる。滝が流れ込むひょうたん池には舟石が浮かべられており「東池＝大海」目指して冒険の航海に出る様を表しているように思える。全体的に池の護岸石組みが美しいのが特徴。東西の池の南側は和風庭園の築山を兼ねた公園の斜面がある。西のひょうたん池と東池の中間に大きな山灯籠を据え、四阿も設けて景の中心とし、四阿には「鯉の餌」の自動販売機も設置され、休日には鯉の餌やりに興じる親子連れが後をたたない。熊本県民の憩いの場。

“Kumamoto Prefectural Sports Park/Japanese Garden” Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture

The Japanese-style garden at Kumamoto Prefectural Sports Park was built around the same time as the park opened in 1978. A strolling garden with a pond is built on a long, narrow strip of land that stretches from east to west. The pond is divided into a large, rounded east pond that is connected to the gourd pond on the west side by a waterway. There are no islands filled with earth in either the east or west of the pond. A waterfall is dropping water at the west end of the gourd pond to the west. The waterfall is divided into 5 to 7 stages, curving beautifully and musically. It represents Longmen Falls. A boat stone is floating on the ``Hyotan Pond'' into which the waterfall flows, representing a person embarking on an adventurous voyage towards ``East Pond = Great Sea.'' This garden is characterized by the beautiful stone walls of the pond on both the east and west sides. On the south side of the east-west pond, the slope of the sports park, which also serves as an artificial hill for a Japanese-style garden, serves as a beautiful backdrop. A large Yama lantern is placed on the land between the west gourd pond and the east pond, and a gazebo is also installed, making it the center of the scenery. There is a vending machine for carp food in Shia, and on holidays many parents and children enjoy feeding the carp in the pond. This is a place of relaxation for the people of Kumamoto Prefecture.
