*sightseeing spot in Kumamoto* 3

Suizenji Park is a Japanese garden. The official name is Suizenji Jojuen Garden, but we generallly call it Suizenji Park. It was constructed by Lord Tadatoshi Hosokawa in 1636. The landscape garden is designed in the Momoyama style. We can see the clear pond which is full of colorful carps. Kokondenju-no-ma tea ceremony room is located near the pond. The beautiful arrangement of hills covering with grounds were modeled after the 53 stations of the Tokaido Road. It is one of the historic sites in Japan.
