basic information

Ritsurin Koen is one of the most beautiful landscape gardens in Japan. It was built by the local feudal lords over a time span of more than 100 years during the early Edo Period. The spacious park features many ponds, beautiful pavilions, the wooded Mt. Shiun as a wonderful background and a museum about local folkcraft.
