The Garden

Red leaves in the Garden

The garden in winter The landscape garden lies to the south of the main drawing room. It is a "walking" garden laid out in the traditional style of the Kamakura and Muromachi periods (14th-15th century). Its five tea houses located in different parts of the garden (two of them built later), and numerous natural rocks-mostly from Kyoto-artistically arranged around the pond, give the garden its special character, and the green moss growing on the stones and rocks seems to add to its elegance and dignity. The garden was designed and completed by a gardener from Kyoto after 3 years of work.
