Ohana and Shotoen Garden, in Yanagawa
Listed on National Scenic Landmark. Built in 1697 as the villa of the Fourth Lord
Tachibana Akitora. At that time the region was called Hanabatake (Field of flower),
so the villa was named Ohana or Flower. The garden itself spread out over 3300
square meters and is laid out in such a way as to evoke the image of Matsushima
in Sendai. It was extensively renovated in 1908 to 1910.
