Edo Period Garden
Hori Garden in Tsuwano, Shimane, is a historic estate once owned by the wealthy Hori family, known for their copper mine operations during the Edo period. The main residence, rebuilt in 1785, preserves elegant traditional interiors, while the 1903 Rakuzan-sō guesthouse features refined wood carvings and scenic garden views. Its Chisen Kaiyū-shiki garden, a designated National Place of Scenic Beauty, is especially stunning in autumn. The site offers a peaceful setting to experience cultural heritage and seasonal beauty. It’s a must-visit for fans of Japanese architecture and landscape design.
