Zuiraku-en

The Zuiraku-en garden spans 4,900 square meters and features meticulously arranged stone lanterns, bridges, and natural elements across its landscape design.

Construction of the garden began between 1890 and 1905 under Takahashi Teizan's direction, commissioned by the wealthy Tsushima family during the late Meiji period.

The garden incorporates traditional dry landscape elements including a dry waterfall, pond, and stone bridge, following established Japanese gardening principles.

Visitors can access the garden from April 20 to November 20, with multiple viewing spots offering different perspectives of the landscaped grounds.

The garden preserves its original design drawings on site, complementing a shoin-style building from 1839 that stands north of the grounds.
