We visit "Sankeien Garden " This garden is a traditional and typical Japanese style garden designed
and landsaped by Sankei Hara ( or real name was Tomitaro Hara), a wealthy business man in the silk trade.
He reconstuckted buildings of historic importance from places such as Kyoto and Kamakura in this garden,
which was opened to the public as "Sankeien" in 1906.
In this garden ,whose serface extends to 175,000 m2,seventeen old buildings of high historic value are skillfully arranged in harmony with the seasonal changes of the natural scenery.
Since second World War this garden was damaged and in 1953 this garden was transferred to the care of
the Sankeien Hoshokai Foundation, Restoration works were carried out,and five years later, Sankeien had
nearly recovered its former appearance.
