前年帶著家人跟朋友在水前寺體驗和服～穿梭在日式庭園中～好有意境😃令人很懷念❤️
看到～水前寺耗費八十年光陰才之時築造泉水・築山等，完成現在所見的庭園，以「水前寺成趣園」之名，也難怪會被指定為國之名勝和國之史跡。真是讚嘆不已👍

4.03
4
It is a stroll garden with spring water that Tadatoshi, the first lord of the Hosokawa clan, created after building a teahouse here where subsoil water from the Aso Mountains gushed forth. Tsunatoshi, the third lord of the Hosokawa clan, later created a large-scale garden that was named "Jojuen" after a poem by Tao Yuanming.
The garden is home to the Izumi Shrine dedicated to the Hosokawa clan, a Noh theater, and the Kokindenju-no-ma teahouse, which was relocated from the Kyoto Imperial Palace. The garden is filled with cherry and pine trees, floating rocks in the pond, and a hill resembling Mount Fuji, all of which evoke an Edo-era atmosphere. The area including Suizenji Jojuen was selected as one of the Heisei era's 100 best water sources, and it attracts many visitors for the "water of longevity" that springs in the precincts of the Izumi Shrine.
During the Izumi Shrine's grand festival, the Noh stage and traditional horseback archery are performed. Visitors can enjoy a cup of matcha green tea and Japanese sweets in the Kokindenju-no-ma or the adjoining teahouse, which has the most beautiful view of the garden.

附近的商店街很多在賣辣蓮藕，吃起來口感不算太差。

庭園設計仿照東海道53次美景，將她們濃縮在庭園裡，值得細細品味。
