The front and back gardens of different eras 💕 Nara has more than just deer! There is also Isuien Garden

#Osaka Shopping Guide Isuien is a pond-and-spring garden designed by the 12th generation of the Satose family, Matamesai. The center of the garden is the teahouse Sanshu-tei, which features the views of Todaiji Temple and Mt. Wakakusa. Sit quietly in the teahouse and watch the mountains. The flowers and scenery of each season are different. There are cherry blossoms in spring, beautiful red leaves in autumn, water lilies and irises in the pond in summer, and white snowballs formed on the lake after snow in winter. It is like the scenery in Ukiyo-e, which is hidden deep in Isuien. November is a good time to see maple leaves and October cherry blossoms. In December, you can enjoy tea plums and pines.

The buildings in the garden, such as Yagyūdō, Bingshin-tei, Tingxiu-ken, and Seishu-an, are all covered with cypress bark and reeds, maintaining traditional characteristics.

If you catch the red leaf season, the garden is full of rich red leaves, which can be intoxicating.
In addition, you can go to the Sanshu-tei in the front garden to drink tea and eat, but it is separate from the garden tour and must be entered from the separate gate outside the garden.
