A world-recognized ultimate Japanese garden, selected as "No. 1 in Japan" for over 20 consecutive years by a US Japanese garden specialty magazine. The "Dry Landscape Garden" and "Moss Garden" spreading across the vast grounds are perfectly maintained without a single flaw. Viewing the gardens through the museum windows as if they were frames creates "living paintings" and "living hanging scrolls" of breathtaking beauty. The founder Adachi Zenko's belief that "the garden is also a picture" is brilliantly embodied. With an extensive collection of modern Japanese paintings including Yokoyama Taikan, this luxurious space where art and natural beauty unite is an essential place for travelers who want to experience the pinnacle of Japanese cultural aesthetics.

Gassan Toda Castle Ruins

A massive mountain castle ruin of the Amago clan in Yasugi City, once feared as "impregnable" during the Warring States period. It skillfully utilizes the terrain of the 190m high Mt. Gassan, and remains of stone walls and moats can still be seen. While the climb to the summit is a bit steep, the panoramic view of Yasugi and Nakaumi from the top is the same scenery that samurai saw. It is a moving spot where tragic and heroic historical romances are carved, perfect for those wanting to touch the samurai spirit.
