Japan Is Shrouded in Mystique and Ancient History, and the Perfect Way to Unravel This Enigma Is by Exploring Its Landscape Gardens
Japan is shrouded in mystique and ancient history, and the perfect way to unravel this enigma is by exploring its landscape gardens. Their basic design is based on capturing the grace and beauty of nature and bringing it into daily life. As simplistic as this may sound, the true magnificence of Japanese gardens is profound. They create soulful, refined and elegant spaces, a humbleness surrounded by nature. Landscape gardening has been an art form in Japan for centuries. Their designs can be put into three distinctive groups, namely hill gardens, dry gardens and tea gardens and can include everything from courtyards to streams and basic, austere spaces to lush, tropical environments. Some are highly groomed, while others look almost wild. The general landscaping theme is based on the principle of minimalist simplicity, including understated contrasts in hues and textures of green, and a near flawless harmony with the elements. This accord is attained through repetition and a semblance of balance. Japanese gardens generally follow several basic design principles: they are hugely reduced in scale, they are enclosed, the angle of view is crucial, they borrow scenery, and they hold balance and symbolism. Most Japanese gardens endeavor to duplicate the environment in miniature. The Japanese garden is a work of living art and a reflection of the Japanese spirit. Nothing is left to chance; every living thing in a garden exists for a reason and stands as a symbol for something else in Japanese culture. A simple garden walkway could reveal to us a part of the richness of Japanese history or its metaphorical significance.

Rail Integrated Communities in Tokyo
http://jtlu.org . 5 . 1 [Spring 2012] pp. 19–32 doi: 10.5198/jtlu.v5i1.280 Rail integrated communities in Tokyo John Calimente Stantec, Inc. a Abstract: Tokyo’s railway station areas are models of transit-oriented design. To differentiate them from transit-oriented developments (TOD), the term rail integrated community (RIC) has been created to describe these high density, safe, mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly devel- opments around railway stations that act as community hubs, are served by frequent, all-day, rail rapid transit, and are accessed primarily on foot, by bicycle, or by public transit. Japanese private railway operators have been instrumental in creating these RICs. ough they receive little financial support from the government, private railways in Japan operate profitably by diversifying into real estate, retail, and numerous other businesses. Tokyu Corporation is used as the case study to exemplify how government policy and socioeconomic context contributed to the successful private railway model. Ten indicators, such as ridership, population density, and mode share are used to analyze two stations created by Tokyu to demonstrate how this model is manifested in Tokyu’s rail integrated communities. Keywords: Value capture; Tokyo; Urban rail; Transit-oriented development; TOD; Private railways; Rail integrated communities; RIC 1 Introduction opments from the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) that originated in North America.

Elements of the Ubranscape in Tokyo
Teka Kom. Arch. Urb. Stud. Krajobr. – OL PAN, 2012, VIII/1, 75-92 ELEMENTS OF THE UBRANSCAPE IN TOKYO Ewa Maria Kido CTI Engineering Co., Ltd. Consulting Engineers, 2-15-1 Nihonbashi Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Tokyo Metropolis (Tōkyō-to) of 13 mln people, crowded, colored, noisy, made of very freely designed buildings, with railway loop line separating the inner center from the outer center – from one side is similar to other large metropolises in Japan, and from another – being a capitol and having the Imperial Palace as its symbolical center, is unique. This article discusses elements of urbanscape, such as transportation infrastructure – roads and railways; junctions and city centers – neighborhoods; urban interiors – streets and squares; border lines and belts – rivers, parks; do- minant urban structures, outstanding elements – landmarks, and characteristic sights, that contrib- ute to aesthetic appeal of the landscape of Tokyo. The conclusion is that although both European cities and Tokyo have well-functioning centers, as well as sub-centers of the polycentric metropo- lises, their forms are differing because they reflect local urban planning, aesthetics, and culture. Key words: urbanscape, urban planning, Tokyo, elements of urbanscape, urban landscape INTRODUCTION Urban landscape is a combination of a city’s form and contents that includes natural and built environment. As an outcome of urban and landscape design, it involves arrangement and functioning of cities, with particular focus on architec- ture, infrastructure and green zones. Design of urban space has become increas- ingly important for the long-term development and well-being of urban commu- nities, and can provide cities with a unique identity.
