A Garden for All Seasons 四季を問わず美しい庭園

Official explanation

The garden of the Mohri Principal Residence is designed to look beautiful whatever the season. The seasonal notes begin as soon you pass through the main gate. To the left of the driveway leading up to the house is a double row of azaleas, which flower in early summer. On the right is a maple forest, the leaves of which turn brilliant red in autumn.

Here is a season-by-season list of the garden highlights.
