Located near the Hikosan Shrine, the Mt. Hikosan Garden, also known as the Former Kameishi-bo Garden, is a Muromachi-era pond garden believed to have been designed by the monk-painter Sesshu. While Sesshu's visit to this location is unconfirmed, the garden features skillfully arranged stones representing a turtle's shell and a crane, along with deep waterfall stones. The garden's layout utilizes the natural slope of the land, creating a serene and visually appealing landscape. It is accessible via a 20-minute bus ride from Hikosan Station. The garden offers a tranquil escape with historical significance.
