Overview

Seikenji Garden is located near Sunpu Castle, where Tokugawa Ieyasu spent his later years. Ieyasu is said to have deeply loved this garden and even participated in its creation. The garden features famous stones, including the Tiger Stone, Turtle Stone, and Ox Stone, which are said to have been moved from Sunpu Castle. A tranquil atmosphere pervades the space. Enjoy a leisurely stroll while taking in the beautiful seasonal scenery. Cherry blossoms abound in spring, lush green leaves cover the trees in summer, autumn brings vibrant foliage, and winter sees snowfall. The garden reveals a different face with each season, making it a captivating destination no matter when you visit. A teahouse is also located within the garden, allowing you to enjoy a cup of tea while appreciating the view. The teahouse offers a panoramic vista of the garden, promoting relaxation of both body and mind. Seikenji Garden is the perfect place to escape the urban bustle and enjoy peaceful tranquility.
