Kyūseki Teien, Japanese garden in Nara, Japan.
The Kyūseki Teien garden features stone paths winding through carefully arranged plants, rocks, and water features across multiple landscape sections.
The garden belonged to the administrative complex of Heijō Palace during the Nara period from 710 to 794, when Nara served as Japan's capital.
The garden layout demonstrates traditional Japanese principles of spatial arrangement, incorporating natural elements to create harmonious outdoor spaces.
The garden maintains regular opening hours throughout the year, with guided tours available in Japanese that explain the historical significance.
Excavations in the 1970s revealed original garden features from the 8th century, including water channels and foundation stones of ancient structures.
