Sankeien (三溪園?) is a Japanese-style garden in Naka Ward, Yokohama, Japan, which opened in 1906.

[edit] About

It features ponds, streams, undulating paths and many historic buildings such as the three-story pagoda of the former Tomyoji Temple, which was originally constructed in Kyoto in 1457 but relocated to the garden in 1914. The Japanese government has designated ten structures in Sankeien as Important Cultural Properties. The garden is popular for its cherry blossoms, ume blossoms, and the changing leaves in autumn.

[edit] History of Sankeien

Sankeien was built by Sankei Hara, who made his fortune in the silk trade. Badly damaged in World War II. In 1953, the garden was conveyed to the City of Yokohama and reconstruction was started.
