Rakusuien (楽水園) in Fukuoka is a beautiful garden and tea house that belonged to a wealthy merchant family, and built in 1906.
After the war, Rakusuien was used as an inn, but in 1995 Fukuoka City rebuilt the whole place and made it open to the public.
It is only 5 minutes on foot from Hakata Station, and for only 100 yen provides a nice little escape from the busy urban life.
Rakusuien (or Rakusui-en) is on the north side of Sumiyoshi Shrine; open 9AM-5PM, closed Tuesdays.
