文化のみち百花百草, Historical house in Higashi district, Nagoya, Japan

Bunka no Michi Hyakka Hyakuso is a residential house in Nagoya with a traditional Japanese garden displaying plants from spring blooms to autumn flowers. The property also includes a multipurpose hall used for exhibitions and cultural programs.

The residence belonged to the Okaya family, founders of Okaya & Co., and stood vacant for years. In 2007 the 1920 Shoin, tea house and storehouse were renovated, a hall was built on the site of the former main house, and the complex opened as Bunka no Michi Hyakka Hyakuso. The name comes from the "Hyakka Hyakuso" folding screen by Tanaka Nokugan, once owned by the family and donated to the Tokugawa Art Museum.

The space reflects traditional Japanese design principles through its careful arrangement of plants and pathways. Visitors experience how gardens in Japan function as places for quiet reflection and observation.

Access is typically limited to specific weekdays and daytime hours, so check opening times before visiting. The grounds are easily navigated on foot and offer a peaceful place to walk and linger.

The garden replants its flowers each season, and about 70 of the roughly 90 wildflowers and grasses depicted in Tanaka Nokugan's "Hyakka Hyakuso" folding screen grow here. The screen itself, once owned by the Okaya family and later donated to the Tokugawa Art Museum, gives the facility its name.
