The 16,000-square-meter garden was established in the Taisho era by Kyozo Enomoto, the founder of the ryokan.
Approximately 30,000 azalea plants of 40 different types bloom around May each year.
It is a beautiful garden with cherry blossoms in spring, and maple leaves in autumn. You can enjoy the wonderful view from the lounge.
