懐徳館庭園, Historic garden at University of Tokyo, Japan.
The Kaitokukan Garden features rock formations, stone lanterns, and dry stream arrangements across its 6,600 square meter grounds within the university campus.
Built in 1910 by gardener Hikouemon Ito for the Maeda family of the former Kaga domain, the garden was donated to the University of Tokyo in 1926.
The garden incorporates karesansui style elements with carefully positioned stepping stones leading to a dry waterfall and structured rock compositions.
Located in Bunkyo district, the garden opens to the public only once per year during the University of Tokyo Homecoming Day in mid-October.
The garden includes stone lanterns decorated with the Maeda family crest and maintains a north-facing artificial waterfall formation connecting to a dry pond.
