Isuien Garden

Isuien (依水園) is a stunning Japanese garden that blends nature and history. It features beautiful "borrowed scenery," such as the Nandaimon Gate of Todaiji Temple and Mount Wakakusayama. The garden’s ponds are fed by the Yoshikigawa River, giving it the name "garden founded on water."

Divided into a front and rear garden, Isuien offers a tranquil escape. The front garden dates back to the mid-17th century, while the rear garden, built in 1899, is larger and more modern. Visitors can also explore a small museum with Chinese and Korean artifacts.
