Wakan Garden
A traditional Japanese garden with a pond in the center is located to the south of the Wakan. Some of the stone lanterns and ornamental stones are said to have been moved from the former Hongo residence and several other locations. Visitors can enjoy a variety of beautiful views, such as that of the Roji (tea garden) adjacent to the tea room on the west side of the Wakan and of the Chinese-style garden that surrounds the Sencha room on the east side. Sencha means “refined green tea” and this is a room where the tea is served. The Sencha room was relocated to Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Marquis Maeda used to allow water to flow into the pond whenever he entertained international guests. He also built a waterfall in the back-left section of the garden so as to enjoy the flow of the stream as well as the pond itself.
