Based in Tama-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Ryoji Nakayama Landscape Design provides comprehensive services from landscape design and construction to environmental maintenance, dedicated to creating profound green spaces where nature and daily life intertwine.
Our foundation lies in the mastery of traditional Japanese gardening. We bring extensive expertise gained from the design and restoration of prestigious sites—including Hama-rikyu Gardens (Tokyo), Isui-en (Nara), as well as historic temples and tea gardens. This background allows us to blend classical techniques with a sophisticated modern aesthetic.
Beyond visual arrangement, we integrate ecological perspectives and soil science into our practice. By focusing on nutrient cycling and the health of the soil environment, we revitalize the land itself to support resilient, “breathing” ecosystems. We translate the complex beauty of natural plant communities—learned through year-round field observations in the mountains—into modern living spaces, ensuring a gentle richness that promotes biodiversity and sustainability.
Our specialty is creating a “comfortable illusion”—using native species and meticulous craftsmanship to craft environments so immersive that you feel like an integral part of the living landscape.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help you coexist with nature.
