Isui-en Garden/Neiraku Art Museum
This garden was once built as a villa by a merchant from Nara Sarashi, and was designated as a national scenic spot in 1975. The roofs of Mt. Wakakusa, Mt. Kasuga, and the South Gate of Todaiji Temple serve as borrowed scenery, and the Nakanoshima Island and the artificial mountain are covered with grass, as if the grass of Mt. Wakakusa continues all the way into the park. Also within the park is the Neiraku Art Museum, which stores and exhibits Oriental antiquities.
