Rakusui-en, Japanese strolling garden in Sumiyoshi, Japan.
The Rakusui-en garden centers around a reflective pond with a natural stone waterfall, featuring winding paths and traditional landscaping elements throughout the grounds.
The garden stands on the former site of Sumiyoshi Villa, constructed in 1906 by Hakata merchant Shimozawa Zenemon Chikamasa before its transformation into a public space in 1995.
The garden maintains a traditional tea room where guests participate in ceremonial rituals, experiencing the refined practices of Japanese tea preparation and service.
Located within a 12-minute walk from Hakata Station, the garden provides direct access through multiple bus lines that stop at the nearby TVQ station.
The garden incorporates Hakatabei walls constructed from clay and materials salvaged from war-damaged buildings, representing a centuries-old architectural technique.
