The Shokado Art Museum Garden is centered on Shokado, a thatched hut originally built in the precincts of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine by Shojo Shokado - a cultural figure and monk from the early Edo period. The "Shokado Garden" was created along with this relocation is a garden of the Meiji period. The Outer Garden is where seasonal flowers such as bamboo, camellia, cherry blossoms and autumn leaves welcome you, centering on the stream. There are two teahouses "Shoin" and “Umein" designed in 1970 by Sukiya architect and tea room researcher Masao Nakamura. There is also a third tea room called “Takein” which was relocated from elsewhere. "Shoin", which is characterized by a raised floor, is a reproduction of the tea room "Kanunken" built by Enshu Kobori where Shojo Shokado was the chief priest.
