☑️A spot where you can also enjoy architecture!
A Western-style building in the style of the British Renaissance
The Western-style garden was designed by Josiah Conder, an Englishman who also designed the Rokumeikan!

☑️Enjoy the romance of the Taisho era!
A precious garden that retains the original form of gardens from the early Taisho era!
A beautiful harmony with the Japanese garden created by Kyoto gardener Ueji!

☑️Designated as a national cultural property!
The Western-style garden is filled with about 200 roses of 100 varieties, and a rose festival is held in spring and autumn to coincide with the best time to see the roses!

Kyu-Furukawa Gardens can be enjoyed even when it's not rose season!
The entrance fee is ¥200, so it's great value for money.
