花と歴史の郷 蛇の鼻, Traditional Japanese garden in Motomiya, Japan.

The garden features a central pond surrounded by 500 maple trees, with seasonal flowers including tulips, wisteria, peonies, and water lilies throughout the grounds.

Built in 1899 by wealthy farmer and politician Ito Ya and his father Ito Nobori, the garden was initially named Hebi no Hana Yuraku-en.

The Hebi no Hana palace, constructed over ten years, contains intricate wood carvings and screen paintings by artists from the Kano school.

The garden operates from April to October between 9:00 and 17:00, and from October to November between 9:00 and 16:30, with winter visits requiring advance reservation.

The name originates from a legend of arrows appearing like flowers during a battle in the late Heian period, transforming from Ya no Hana to Hebi no Hana.
