Hisuien Jade Garden - A 70 ton boulder of cobalt jade greets you as you enter the gate to this beautifully-landscaped Japanese garden. The site area is 17,000 square meters - the garden is composed of three waterfalls, a wandering pond with curving waterways with a pine forest in the background. It is an elegant strolling garden using megaliths and many large stones. Spring begins with red plums and white plums, followed by fresh greenery and satsuki, followed by moss in the rainy season, autumn leaves of Enkianthus perulatus and maple leaves, and a snowy landscape in winter. The garden was created by Nakane Kinsaku, and its sister garden nearby Gyokusuien was also created by Nakane. Hisuien Jade Garden opened in 1978
