Japanese Garden Singapore

After visiting the Chinese Garden, we walked over next door to visit the Japanese Garden. The main attraction in Japanese Garden must be the new Sunken Garden. It is so lovely but first, we rest and have some breakfast.


We ordered the Breakfast set of waffles with caramel banana and black coffee. 
It tasted good, the waffle is really crispy.


After breakfast, took many photos of the sunken garden.

Sunken Garden, where walled paths lined up to 3.5m high on both sides with more than 200 types of epiphytes – plants that grow on other plants or structures – attempt to create a microclimate of high humidity and low temperatures.

Its centrepiece takes inspiration from a cenote – a deep natural well or sinkhole formed by the collapse of surface limestone that exposes groundwater underneath – featuring an air well that allows natural light into the otherwise shaded garden, and a still pool to harvest and recycle rainwater.

The distinctive red color of the bridge is authentically aligned with the hue of a traditional red bridge in Japan. Garden bridges in Japanese gardens have both a symbolic and practical meaning. Bridges symbolize traveling and transition, and inspire mindfulness as one takes steps–literally and figuratively–to cross.
