Tokugawaen Garden

This Japanese garden was created on the former site of Ozone Residence, a retirement retreat built in 1695 by Mitsutomo, the second lord of the Owari Domain. The estate is said to have covered approximately 109 acres (44 hectares) at the time. It is designed as a pond-stroll garden, the style most commonly used for feudal lords’ gardens during the Edo period. A clear stream flows from a waterfall, through a ravine, and into a pond representing the sea, symbolically recreating Japan’s natural landscapes.

Gero Onsen

Gero Onsen is a historic hot spring said to have been discovered either during the Engi era (901-923) or the Tenryaku era (947-957). Records indicate that Oda Nobunaga was particularly fond of the hot spring and often visited for therapeutic bathing. During the Edo period, Hayashi Razan, a Confucian scholar who served the Tokugawa family, named it one of Japan’s Three Famous Hot Springs, alongside Arima Onsen in Hyogo Prefecture and Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma Prefecture.
