A Visit to Sankeien Garden in Yokohama

Posted March 27, 2009

by Steve Bloom, Executive Director

Designed by Sankei Hara, this stroll garden is distinct because it contains 17 buildings of high historic value reconstructed here from such places as Kyoto and Kamakura. They are arranged skillfully in harmony with the seasonal changes of the natural scenery of the garden. The garden sustained heavy damage in World War II which required 5 years of restoration. Today the garden grounds and its building stage numerous art exhibitions and events throughout the year.
