Hori Teien Garden

4.5

"A garden that includes the main house of Hori Tojuro, an Edo period copper mine official called the ""Mining King of Western Honshu."" The roughly 6.5-hectare grounds consist of the main garden from the Edo period, the Meiji period Rakuzan-so reception hall, and the Warakuen garden from the Taisho period. It's been recognized as a National Place of Scenic Beauty. Created in 1897, Rakuzan-so's grounds feature a pond-centered strolling garden with a waterfall and a three-legged stone lantern against a rocky mountain back drop. It has 17 lanterns of different sizes and a small shrine, as well as maple trees, azaleas, and satsuki rhododendrons. Lots of visitors come when the leaves turn colors in fall."

津和野に来たら立ち寄るべし

Reviewed : 2020.11.16

津和野駅から車で１５分くらいの場所にあります。津和野駅周辺特に何もなく堀庭園オススメします。紅葉の名所としても有名です。津和野に来たら立ち寄るべ。

津和野駅から車で１５分くらいで途中にはコンビニが一件ですのでトイレはそこか、堀庭園の受付のみとなりますので気をつけましょ。堀庭園は３つのエリアに分かれてまして主屋と主庭客殿・楽山荘と庭園道路を挟んで和楽園和楽園は石の階段を上がっていくようになりますので苔と落ち葉で足元がズルズルになってる箇所が多いので注意が必要ですが頂上からは絶景です^_^

堀家は鎌倉時代、津和野に地頭として下向した吉見氏に従って畑迫に土着した一族で、戦国時代には吉見氏のもとで鉱山開発を行っていた。堀氏が居住した畑ヶ迫村には銀山があったことから、大いに栄えたようです。
