GG5 has Elysium, but I think it's a bit of a stretch.

I don't think Elysium works as a general term for "paradise" in English any more than say, Valhalla

* nikk: 楽しい庭園。また、苦しみのない安楽に暮らせる所。極楽。パラダイス。
  Comments:
Of all my refs, Nikkoku is the _only_ one that makes reference to a literal garden. Considering every other ref only has a "paradise" gloss, I feel this should be removed. Or else relegated to a separate gloss with a tag indicating it is not a modern meaning.

Besides, the nikk definition only talks about the garden being enjoyable, not the specific thing known as a pleasure garden (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasure_garden).
