Nanushi-no-Taki Park, Japanese strolling garden in Kishimachi, Japan.
Description
Nanushi-no-Taki Park is a Japanese strolling garden built across hillside terrain with four waterfalls, multiple walking paths, a flowing stream, and a central pond. The grounds are planted with seasonal vegetation that changes throughout the year.
History
The site began around 1850 as part of a wealthy farmer's residence during the Edo period. It passed through several owners before opening to the public as it exists today.
Culture
The garden displays traditional Japanese landscaping with carefully placed stones, bridges, and maple trees that frame different views as you walk. The design guides visitors to pause and observe each composition along the paths.
Practical
The park is about a 7-minute walk from Oji Station, making it easy to reach by train. Hours vary by season, so checking ahead ensures you arrive during open times.
Did you know?
Despite urban development eliminating natural water sources, the waterfalls flow thanks to an underground pumping system hidden beneath the grounds. This engineering allows the garden to maintain its natural appearance.
