Unrei-an is a Japanese garden found within the compound of Aizu Homare Shuzo Sake distillery. The garden was created during the Showa period. This garden was started by the founder Kosaku Karahashi, and the name Unrei-an comes from the view of the summit of Mt. Bandai from the clouds as a borrowed landscape. Visitors may freely stroll around the garden, and also sample more than 10 types of sake at the adjacent sake brewing facility. It was named Unrei-an by Dr. Tetsuo Watanuki because you can see the summit of Mt. Bandai in the background of the garden . It is built using the vast virgin forest so there are plentiful zelkova, pine, maple, cherry trees in each season. The sake here has won many awards and is given as gifts to VIPs visiting Japan.
