The paths in Japanese gardens are constructed in specific designs to ensure that the person in the garden experiences the best possible views and advantages the garden has to offer. They are called "strolling gardens" and consist of many interconnecting and interweaving paths that can be elaborate in their shape.
The paths lead in specific directions, and offer the best possible views and vantage points, taking into consideration the shadow and light at different times of day. As the garden is meant to be a sensory experience, many paths are difficult to walk on, encouraging the visitor to take their time and appreciate the garden to the full.
Japanese garden paths are usually made from flat stones, dressed stone or gravel as these are the most durable natural materials available. Many surviving examples of traditional Japanese gardens have worn away due to the specific paths design; the wear and tear of centuries of use.
