The Honjin Todoroki Family Garden in Azumino, Nagano, is a historical site that once served as a resting place for the Lord of Matsumoto during his hunting expeditions in the Edo period. The garden, reflecting mid-Edo period design with influences from the Momoyama period, features a traditional Japanese aesthetic. Visitors can explore the main house with its lord's chambers and admire antique furniture and a charming garden with a small arched bridge. Located a 15-minute walk from JR Hotaka Station, it's an ideal stop while visiting the Daio Wasabi Farm. Open from 9:00 to 16:00, it's closed during the winter months (December to March).
