Kunen'an

The Kunen-an garden features traditional thatched-roof architecture with carefully arranged stones, trees, and moss across multiple viewing points.

Built between 1900 and 1909 by businessman Yataro Itami, the garden required nine years of construction under the guidance of Buddhist monk Ari.

The garden incorporates borrowed scenery techniques from the Tsukushi Plains, integrating natural elements with traditional Japanese landscaping principles.

Visitors can access the garden during limited periods in spring and autumn, with special openings in November to view the red maple leaves.

The garden maintains its original design from the Meiji period, including specific moss varieties and native tree arrangements from that era.
