Yōkōkan Garden, Daimyo garden in Fukui, Japan
The garden features a central pond surrounded by traditional Japanese architecture, wooden walkways, and carefully arranged stone formations throughout the landscape.
Originally constructed as a retreat for the Matsudaira clan during the Edo period, the garden suffered damage during World War II but underwent restoration in 1982.
Visitors can experience traditional tea ceremonies in designated areas while observing the garden from authentic tatami-floored viewing rooms.
The garden opens daily from 9:00 to 19:00 between March and November, and from 9:00 to 17:00 from November through February, with entrance fees of 220 yen.
The garden maintains its original design from 1823, documented in historical blueprints called Osensui Sashizu, which guided its restoration process.
