In Nottingham, there are a lot of different types of architecture. For example, we have windmills, canals, abbeys, parks, and train stations. I recommend anyone to try and explore the natural sites of Nottingham if they have time.
Michigan is a state that has lots of nature, so anywhere you go, you’re likely to be surrounded by either trees or a lake. Driving down the freeway in the fall, you can experience the feeling of being surrounded by the beautiful colors of fall!

(Western gardens, on the other hand, are often based on flowers and greenery, and are characterized by symmetrical designs of flowerbeds and hedges, pursuing an artificial beauty that cannot be found in the natural world.)
(While Japanese gardens are characterized by the beauty of natural scenery, including its changes, Western gardens are characterized by the beauty of artificially ordered landscapes created by processing nature into symmetrical or geometrical shapes.)
私自身が興味深いと思う違いは、「庭を楽しむ視点」です。
(The difference that I personally find interesting is “the perspective of enjoying the garden”.)
日本庭園は外側から眺めて楽しむスタイルが一般的です。
(Japanese gardens are generally enjoyed from the outside.)
素敵な日本庭園のある家では、例えば縁側のように、庭を眺めるための特別な場所を設けていたりします。
(In a house with a nice Japanese garden, for example, there is a special place for viewing the garden, such as the veranda.)
(Many Western gardens are designed with a walkway, bench, or gazebo (Western-style pavilion) as part of the garden, and are intended for strolling, drinking tea, reading, and relaxing in the garden.)
外から眺めても美しい西洋庭園ですが、庭の中からでも日常的に楽しめる。
(The Western garden is beautiful when viewed from the outside, but it can also be enjoyed on a daily basis from within the garden.)
外側から眺める日本庭園と、内側からも楽しめる西洋庭園。
(The Japanese garden can be viewed from the outside and the Western garden can be enjoyed from the inside.)
