Overview

Kannon-in Garden is a pond-style garden built over 10 years starting in 1650 within the grounds of Kannon-in Temple, one of the prayer temples of the Tottori clan, the Ikeda family. Utilizing a sloping terrain, it's designed in the Kyoto-style Hōrai-shiki (蓬莱式) style. Various elements, including ponds, islands, and stone arrangements, are skillfully placed, creating a harmonious blend of nature and human artistry. The scenery of the Genzaemonyama mountain foothills, used as a borrowed landscape, further enhances the garden's beauty. The garden includes a tea room and a study where you can enjoy matcha while savoring the scenic views. Seasonal flowers bloom throughout the year, offering beautiful cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn foliage. Kannon-in Garden is perfect for those seeking tranquility and a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Why not refresh your mind and body in this space enveloped by history and nature?
