Daisen Park Japanese Garden (Sakai City)

Daisen Park Japanese Garden (Sakai City)

This Japanese garden covers a total area of 26,000 square meters. Sakai flourished as a trading hub during the Middle Ages, and various technologies and cultures arrived there. It is said that the gardening techniques that became the origins of Japanese gardens were also introduced at this time. Making full use of traditional Japanese gardening techniques, Daisen Park's garden is designed as a strolling garden with a hill and a forest and springs. It is composed of three landscapes: Togendai, a plateau on the southern side; Ishizukei, which flows from south to north; and the lowlands on the northern side. Passing through the cypress gate, you will find a rest area modeled after the "Nayashu," a meeting place for wealthy Sakai merchants in the Middle Ages; Ryuhaitei, where you can enjoy a meandering stream carved from the stone of Mount Huaguo in China, which is associated with Son Goku; Togendai, where you can enjoy outdoor tea ceremonies and bonsai exhibitions; and a walk along the stream will take you to Kasatei. Experience the changing flowers and greenery of the seasons while immersing yourself in Sakai's cultural climate.
