They do it pretty well huh?
I'm really keen to get to Japan and see it for myself, my sister in-law is Japanese so I'll get some inside scoops on the best things to see and will probably be able to avoid the tourist traps, but for the moment this garden in my own city will suffice. I have driven past this thing for so many years and simply had no idea it was there. Bonkers really.
Sounds like you definitely have the inside scoop! I'd probably try to touch base with @dbooster if I ever made it to Japan. He's become a good friend here on the chain and he lives there currently.
Yeah, I heard he lives there and he seems to be a reasonable chap.
