Visiting Japan is a dream for many Brits - but prices for flights, hotels and the cost of living are prohibitively expensive.
However, there are a couple of places in the UK where you can have a similar experience to visiting Japan, including one right in the centre of London.
The Kyoto Garden in Holland Park was opened in 1991 and was a gift from the former Japanese capital ahead of the Japan Festival, held in London in 1992.
Since then, the garden has gone on to become a favourite spot for Londoners search for some peace and quiet in among the busyness of the city.
The garden is described as an "an oasis of calm" in the centre of the park, with its tiered waterfall, koi carp pond, stone lanterns and Japanese maple trees.
Meandering stepping stones cut a pathway through the pond, providing a perfect photo opportunity for visitors.
Adding further colour are the peacocks that can be seen roaming free around the park.
