Back in the 70's I went to a beautiful garden somewhere near Fukuoka. Here I am almost 70 years old and traveled all over , but I never have seen anything more beautiful then that place. I remember the arched bridges and white swans in a pond. I thought it was heaven on earth.

Were you visiting the Dazaifu Tenmangu, by any chance?

@Uncle Frank , you really have to come over to Japan again!
