Description

Tomitaro Hara acquired several buildings including teahouses, a farmer's house, a pagoda and various villas and placed them on his property amidst ponds, wooded slopes and landscaped gardens. They were opened to the public in 1906. Although there are sixteen separate buildings, the Rinshukaku villa with paintings by Kano-school masters is particularly noteworthy. Rinshukaku, Tenzui-ji Juto, Gekka-den, Tenju-in, Choshu-kaku, Shunso-ro, the Pagoda, Tokei-ji, the Yanohara House and the main hall of Tomyo-ji have been designated important cultural properties.

Breath taking glimpse into eras long past!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/13/05
I visited the gardens in Mid-May and they were incredible! The grounds were just lovely! I enjoyed all the water lillies and was surrounded by a great variety of people to watch as well as enjoying the gardens. There were several artists, college students, older people, tourists and a few groups of people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. I also took advantage of attending the tea ceremony in the main museum. It was just wonderful. I was a real treat to learn about Japanese culture by experiencing it! Truly a place to make a return vist! Just what I intend to do next week!

Fall Splendor
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/2/04
I saw it in the fall and the colors of the leaves were amazing. I didn't know that there were that many colors of red, orange and yellow. This is a wonderful place, the history mixed with the natural beauty made for a truly enjoyable visit.
