Rokusan-en, Japanese garden and historic house in Wakayama, Japan
The garden spans 6,600 square meters with traditional ponds, stone lanterns, and seasonal plants arranged throughout the landscaped grounds.
Built between 1920 and 1925 as a private residence for businessman Matsui Isuke, the property later served as a GHQ command center after World War II.
The garden incorporates ten registered tangible cultural properties, including the main building which displays modern Japanese architectural elements and traditional craftsmanship.
The site functions as a Japanese restaurant where visitors can reserve tables overlooking the garden while sampling regional cuisine in tatami rooms.
The property features a distinctive water tower made of brick, combining Japanese design with Western construction methods of the early 20th century.
