A "stroll-style landscape garden" created over 7 years by Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa, an aide to the 5th Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. Characterized by delicate designs replicating scenic spots from Waka poetry, the undulating terrain shows different faces with every step. The light-ups for weeping cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are stunning, immersing you in artistic Edo-period garden beauty.
