Shurakuen Garden is a beautiful and historical garden in Tsuyama. It was made it 1657 by Mori Nagatsugu, Tsuyama's second feudal lord, to entertain guests. The buildings in the garden are the original buildings, and they are quite well-preserved. Although the garden is not as large today as it used to be, the features of the garden that remain are the same as they were back when it was built. In the spring you can view cherry blossoms however, the beauty of this garden can be appreciated during all seasons. The first time I visited the garden was between the fall season and winter, which is probably the worst time to visit any garden in Japan, but even at this time, Shurakuen proved to be well worth visiting! I also came during the cherry blossom season, which of course, was amazing!

Surprisingly, the garden is free to enter, so I highly recommend taking a stroll through Shurakuen Garden!
