Gardens

三溪園

Sankeien is a traditional Japanese garden in Yokohama created by silk merchant Hara Sankei. Historic buildings were relocated here from places including Kyoto and Kamakura and arranged around ponds, wooded paths, and seasonal plantings. Notable structures include the three-story pagoda of the former Tomyoji Temple, built in 1457, and the Former Yanohara Family Residence, a large gassho-style farmhouse.
