Iraku Park, Japanese garden in Hirakata, Japan
The garden features a central spring-fed pond surrounded by artificial hills, waterfalls, and stone arrangements that create distinct seasonal landscapes.
The Irakuen Park was completed in April 1961 as part of the development plan by Japan Housing Corporation for the Kori housing complex.
The garden follows the traditional Heian period design principles with a stroll-style layout that incorporates water features and carefully arranged stone compositions.
Visitors can access the park by taking a Keihan bus from Hirakata-shi Station to either Kori-gaoka 5-chome or Kori-gaoka 6-chome stops.
The garden's name Irakuen translates to 'Garden for Everyone's Enjoyment,' though it remained closed behind fences until its renovation in 1998.
