Isuien Garden

A nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty featuring a strolling pond garden. Despite its location on the north side of Nara Park, between Todai-ji Temple and Kofuku-ji Temple, Isuien Garden is a tranquil Japanese garden secluded from its surroundings. It consists of two sections: the Front Garden, created in the early Edo period, and the Back Garden, developed during the Meiji period. Together, they offer a glimpse into the aesthetics of two different eras.
