Korakuen gardens Okayama, Enyo-tei Japanese garden.
Used as a place to receive the daimyo (Japanese feudal lord) when he visited Korakuen, this house used to be the most important structure in the garden. Although it was burnt to the ground in World War II, in 1960 the best materials and technologies available at the time were used to restore it to the layout it had when the garden was created. It has been built to afford views of scenic spots both within and outside the garden, and former lords have also gazed at the surroundings from here. There are ongoing efforts to preserve this landscape.
