Isome-shi Garden, Japanese garden and historic house in Katata, Ōtsu, Japan.

The garden holds connections to the Isome family who established their presence during the Edo period near the important Tōkaidō route connecting Edo to Kyoto.

The garden displays the principles of Japanese landscape architecture through its meticulously arranged stones, water features, and plant compositions.

The garden welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the administrative office.
