Suizenji Jojuen Garden

Suizenji Jojuen Garden

Suizenji Jojuen is a nationally designated scenic spot and historic site located in Kumamoto City. It is a stroll garden created by the Hosokawa clan during the Edo period. The garden's history began in 1632 when the first lord, Hosokawa Tadafusa, built a tea house, and it was completed during the time of the third lord, Tsunatoshi. Inside the garden, visitors can enjoy a pond fed by the underground waters of Aso, a hill modeled after Mount Fuji, and the "Kokin Denju no Ma," which was relocated from the Kyoto Imperial Palace, allowing for appreciation of natural beauty throughout the four seasons. From late March to early April, cherry blossoms bloom spectacularly, attracting many hanami (flower viewing) visitors.
