Shimizuen Garden

Garden
This Japanese garden was built for the home of the family of Shibata feudal lord Mizoguchi. It is only a seven-minute walk from Shibata Station on the JR Hakushin Line. It was once known as the Shimizudani Palace and is now dedicated as a National Site of Scenic Beauty. It is a Kyoto style garden that uses the Eight Views of Omi. In the center is a large pond that reflects the Japanese character for water in cursive, with a number of tea houses scattered around. The tea houses are not open to the public but you are able to enter at set times during tea ceremonies. They are well known for their fall leaves viewing when the colorful leaves reflect beautifully in the water.

    新発田藩が造った池泉回遊式庭園。国の指定名勝。草書の「水」の字を模した大池泉に近江八景を取り込んでいます。というのが、一般的な説明ですが、そんなことより、実際に散策してみると、景観が楽しい庭園です。書院や茶室といった建物が多いのも特徴的かな。書院の中からの庭園鑑賞も可能です。

    新発田駅から周辺を散策にて立ち寄りました。回遊式庭園になってます。池の一周して眺める景色は良かったです。隣にある旧新発田藩足軽長屋も合わせて観ることもできます。昔の集合住宅みたいな感じで狭いお部屋で質素に暮らしていたのかなと想像してみました○

    和菓子屋の新柳本店のチーズケーキを買いに行ったついでに初めて訪問しました。入園料は大人¥700。身体障害者手帳を持っている方と付添い1名は半額¥350。砂利道で段差も多く車椅子での拝観は厳しいと思います。お食事処「米蔵」で予約している方は特別割引入園料大人¥450で入れますが予約しないで行くと通常料金とられます。清水園向かい側にある足軽長屋はこの入園料で入ることができます。お食事処以外はペットは小...
