Kōfū-en, Japanese strolling garden in Sakaide, Japan.

Kofuen garden contains traditional Japanese design elements including stone lanterns, bridges, and carefully arranged trees along winding paths through natural landscapes.

The garden was commissioned by Kamata Katsutaro in 1911 during the Meiji period and maintains its original layout from that era.

The garden follows the chisen kaiyu shiki style, which originated during the Edo period when daimyo lords created spaces for contemplative walks.

Located at 1-3489-2 Honmachi, the garden opens from 9:00 to 17:30 and remains closed on Mondays except during public holidays.

The garden combines both Japanese and Western design elements, featuring traditional landscaping alongside an extensive lawn area.
