Yoshikien (吉城園) is a beautiful Japanese garden in central Nara, named after the nearby Yoshikigawa River. It was built on the former site of Kofukuji Temple’s priest residences.
The garden features three distinct sections: a pond garden, a moss garden, and a tea ceremony garden. Visitors can enjoy the diversity of Japanese garden styles in one place. For those looking for more, the Isuien Garden is just across the river, offering additional examples of traditional Japanese gardening.
