Yugayama-enchi
Yugayama-enchi (formerly Nanto Villa Garden of the Yamaguchi clan) is an approximately 1.3 ha garden located on the south side of Ukimido and Sagi Pond. In 1927, the area was added to the nationally designated cultural property ``Nara Park, a place of scenic beauty'' due to its spectacular view of Yugayama and Sagi Pond. This is where the villa of Mr. Yoshirobe Yamaguchi, who was active in the Osaka business world from the Meiji period to the Taisho period, was located, and it is said that in the past, painters such as Komidera Hachizan and tea masters sought cultural exchange in the garden and tea room. Historical facts too. You can enjoy seeing the views of Nara that the artist loved, the various garden styles, and the details on the stone lanterns. On the west side of the garden is the tea room "Takuan," which is a restored version of the tea room built by Yoshirobe Yamaguchi, and you can use it by making a reservation. Entry is from the south side of Ukimido and Sagi Pond. (Photo provided by Nara Prefecture)
