Zen meditation at Sankeien Garden (for Incentive Tour)

【About Sankeien Garden】
Sankeien Garden features many historical houses and buildings recognized as culturally significant by the Japanese government. These structures were relocated to the park from various locations across Japan, including a three-storied pagoda situated on a hill deep within the garden.

The entire garden was once the private residence of Tomitaro “Sankei” Hara (1869-1939), a prosperous silk merchant.

In late March or early April, the cherry blossoms (sakura) are in full bloom. In July and August, a pond near the entrance is adorned with the beauty of thousands of Japanese pink lotus blossoms. In late autumn, you can enjoy the stunning autumn foliage. In winter, plum blossoms (ume) begin to bloom from mid to late February.
