Activity
A Japanese garden that embodies a part of Japanese spiritual culture
Four of the 15 excavated gardens are designated Special Places of Scenic Beauty (other examples include Kenroku-en, one of Japan's Three Most Famous Gardens). Still, the reality is that it is difficult to convey their value.
We will provide a detailed explanation of these gardens, including comparisons with other famous gardens.
Guided by a Fukui Prefecture certified tourist guide
We will provide a gentle explanation to serve as a guide for your appreciation of Japanese gardens. Of course, Japanese garden enthusiasts are also welcome.
A miniature view of nature, including the waterfall rock formations
It is an auspicious power spot, with the garden stones arranged to resemble the Buddha, cranes, turtles, and other figures.
The theme is spirituality, mindfulness, and peace of mind.
The garden is a symbol of peace that has existed since the Sengoku period.
Please spend some time contemplating life, being immersed in emotion as you gaze upon the charming garden and listen to the words of the stones that have spanned 500 years.
