Teikanen, Japanese garden in Kashiwazaki, Japan.
The garden features a deep pond, traditional stone arrangements, and an extensive moss collection spread across multiple landscaped sections.
The Murayama family established Teikanen in 1673 during the Enpo era, with notable Edo period gardeners Kudani Niuemon and Fujii Tomonoshin contributing to its design.
The garden displays eight distinct viewpoints and ten aesthetic features that represent traditional Japanese garden design principles and natural elements.
Visitors can reach Teikanen by taking a 50-minute bus ride from Kashiwazaki Station to Teikanen Mae stop, noting seasonal closures during winter snowfall.
The moss garden thrives naturally due to the specific climate conditions of Niigata Prefecture, characterized by heavy winter snowfall and moderate temperatures.
