inspiring gardens March 21, 2008
I was looking for inspiration for the small garden I am about to create when my new house is completed in the northeast. The tours of the Kyota Gardens did that very well, not that I am going to try to duplicate these ancient gardens but I've come away with lots of ideas--garden paths to die for, for one.
 OLD PRODUCT February 15, 2008
Warning: This is an old product made in 1996, it only has a new label glued on top of the box indicating it is XP/Vista compatible. I noticed immediately after installing it that it has a very dated look to the interface, like playing MYST.
I suppose it's subjective, but in my opinion it should have been marketed for $10; certainly not $30.
 Outstanding piece of work! August 13, 2002

This is something else. Beautifully presented and perfectly matched to music (if you switch it on). After seeing the gardens for myself, I can say the photos chosen brilliantly represent the "feel" of the gardens. The insightful essays discuss all aspects of the gardens, their history and design. A visual masterpiece.The computer interface needs very slight work but is very well produced. Such a slight mark on an otherwise perfect experience.
Beautiful! March 4, 2002

This does allow you to look through 24 gardens in the 360-degree viewpoint, with the full-circle perspectives from several other vantage points within each garden, so there more than 24 "Viewings". You can also explore the images through the program or simply through a photo browser. You will find litte things you missed, so look through it more than once!. I've also used several of the pictures as my wallpaper.It's pretty pricey anywhere but Amazon, so if you are looking to buy it, Amazon's the place to go!
Kyoto Gardens: A virtual stroll through Zen Landscapes August 30, 2001
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This title, in brief, allows users to 'walk through' (360 degree viewing) 24 of Kyoto's most famous Zen Gardens. It includes cross-platform (Windows & Mac) QuickTime 'walk throughs' of the gardens, accompanied by detailed notes on the history and design features of the gardens, a 150 plate photo collection and 5 essays by well known scholars on Zen and landscape gardening. Defintely worth a look!
