The Japan FAQ | Sankeien Garden, Yokohama in 4K - 三渓園●横浜 - Japan As It Truly Is @thejapanfaq | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
Sankeien Garden is one of the Tokyo area's most exquisite gardens, yet few ever see it. Discover what they are all missing here.
Some traditional garden lovers may say that Sankeien Garden (三溪園) is the most beautiful in the Tokyo area (Kanto). That is debatable, but it most certainly is a contender. You could spend hours exploring the tranquil beauty as well as a number of historical buildings and a pagoda from across Japan. It is no surprise that many young Japanese women have wedding photos taken at Sankeien, and a visit is surely going to be a highlight of any Japan trip.
Sankeien Garden opened in 1906. It was designed and built by Tomitaro Hara, a successful silk trader and art collector. Sankeien took 6 years to build and the garden covers over 180,000 sq. meters. After Sankeien was severely damaged during WWII, the Hara family donated it to the city of Yokohama. Some of the more notable structures are the 3-story pagoda from the former Tomyoji Temple in Kyoto, as well as its main hall, plus the former Yanohara House, a wealthy family's house from Shirakawago Village, in Gifu. Spring to autumn is the best time to visit Sankeien.
Hours open: 9:00 to 5:00 PM (last entry 4:30 PM)
Entrance fee : ¥700
