Places to visit

Yokokan Garden in our city of Fukui, which also is designated as National Scenic Beauty,
was ranked No.4 in The Garden Rankings of Japan by an American magazine “Sukiya Living”
(The Journal of Japanese Gardening).
Yokokan Garden used to be often highly ranked in the rankings before
and its highest was No.3.
One reason why it was chosen is that you can enter the beautiful tea ceremony house architecture and relax by sitting in the room as long as you like.
For reference, this time No.1 is Adachi Museum in Shimane Prefecture, No.2 is Katsura Rikyu in Kyoto and No.3 is Yamamoto-tei in Tokyo.
Here is a video that we took in the Yokokan Garden and uploaded on this site last year. (2’46”) (H.S)
