Kairaku-en Garden

Information
Kairaku-en is one of the three great Japanese gardens in Japan, along with Koraku-en in Okayama and Kenroku-en in Ishikawa. The park was made by Shogun Tokugawa Nariaki in 1842 and named "Kairaku-en", which means a place where everyone can enjoy.
Kairaku-en is famous for 3,000 plum trees which are full in bloom in February. You can catch a glimpse of the elegant lifestyle of the Daimyo (feudal lords) of the time at the Tokugawa Shogunate Nariaki's second home “Kobuntei”.
