Family trip to Suizenji Park, Kumamoto*

The Polar Bear Family have been on a fabulous trip to a park in Japan, called Suizenji Park 
(Suizen-ji jyojyuen, Suizen-ji Kouen).


Suizen-ji Jōju-en is a tsukiyama - a japanese garden - located  in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The main tsukiyama is a representation of Mount Fuji. Lord Hosokawa Tadatoshi began construction of the garden in 1636 as a tea retreat. The park was named after a no-longer-extant Buddhist temple called Suizen-ji. (Wikipedia).

Mum Pati and Dad Benjiro have taken the children out to see the garden.


 Botan Bear, also known as peony ( a beautiful flower) is wearing a kimono made of pretty Japanese fabric with lilac pink trimmings.




Bishamon Bear ( who has taken after his easy-going father as his name means "help") is wearing a Japanese kimono over a trousers and top combo edged with tan braid.
