Sankeien Garden [Yokohama] 　三渓園・横浜

Sankeien Garden is a vast classical Japanese garden covering over 175,000 square meters, renowned for its seasonal beauty.

Sankeien contains many hisotrical houses and buildings that are recognized as being culturally significant by the government. These buildings were brought to the park from locations all over Japan, and include a three storied pagoda located high up on a hill, deep inside the garden. This pagoda, originally constructed in Kyoto in the mid-1400s, was relocated to Sankei-en in 1914.

The entire garden was once the private home of Tomitaro “Sankei” Hara (1869-1939) an extremely wealthy silk merchant. It was opened to the public in 1906.

As you stroll through the park you will find bridges, streams, small waterfalls, bamboo groves, and ponds. [….]
