Sankeien Garden Tourism

Sankeien Garden is a spacious, traditional Japanese-style garden in Yokohama, Japan, that spans over 175,000 square meters. It was designed and opened by Sankei Hara, a wealthy silk trader, in 1906. The garden features a central pond and a variety of historical buildings from across Japan, some of which are designated Important Cultural Properties. The landscape architecture is a harmonious blend of nature and structures, with seasonal flowers and foliage offering a different scenic experience throughout the year. Visitors can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and serene snowscapes in winter. Sankeien Garden is not just a place of beauty but also a cultural hub where traditional Japanese tea ceremonies, flower arrangement displays, and art exhibitions are regularly held. The garden’s tranquility and natural beauty provide an escape from the bustling city and a glimpse into the traditional Japanese way of life.
