In Japanese gardens, stepping stones, or tobi-ishi (飛石), create a unique walking experience, requiring careful movement from stone to stone. Unlike paved paths where visitors can walk side by side, stepping stone paths encourage a slower, more mindful journey, making them ideal for tea gardens.

Tea master Sen no Rikyū introduced tobi-ishi to keep shoes clean, with later masters refining their height and placement.
