This garden is located where the Manishu-in, part of Kofukuji-koin, once was. During the Meiji era, it was privately owned, but in the Taisho period, following the construction of the existing building and garden, Nara Prefecture acquired them and opened it up to the public for viewing and tea ceremonies in the first year of the Heisei period (1989). The grounds include the Ike (pond) Garden, the Koke (moss) Garden, and the Chabana (tea and flower) Garden. In the Koke Garden, there is a detached teahouse. In spring, the colors are fresh and green, while in autumn the changing colors of the leaves are beautiful. The four seasons of the ancient capital present contrasting views.
