A Japanese style rural landscape plan typically refers to a layout design for a garden or outdoor space that incorporates elements of traditional Japanese gardening, such as stone arrangements, ponds, stepping stones, and the use of natural materials. It emphasizes harmony with nature, simplicity, and a sense of tranquility. Key features include the use of raked sand to represent water in the absence of actual water, as well as the strategic placement of trees, shrubs, and plants to create a serene and aesthetically pleasing environment.
