Urakuen Garden

Urakuen Garden (有楽苑) is a beautiful Japanese-style garden located in the city of Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The garden was originally created in the Edo period (1603-1868) by the Owari branch of the Tokugawa clan, one of the most powerful samurai clans in Japan.

The garden covers an area of over 13,000 square meters and features a variety of scenic landscapes, including a pond, a waterfall, and several walking paths that wind through lush greenery and blooming flowers.

One of the main attractions of Urakuen Garden is the teahouse, which is situated on the edge of the pond and offers a serene and picturesque view. Visitors can enjoy a traditional Japanese tea ceremony while admiring the beautiful surroundings.

The garden also features several historic buildings, including the Jo-an Teahouse, which was originally built in Kyoto in the 16th century and later moved to the garden. The teahouse is designated as a National Treasure of Japan and is considered one of the finest examples of Japanese tea house architecture.
