On the way from Kuwana station to Rokkaen on foot, I happened to meet a guide and was invited to stop by. When you passed through the small entrance of the red brick warehouse to the back, it was another world full of greenery. It is called the Moroto Garden and is said to be open twice a year during the season of irises and autumn leaves. The home of Mr. Moroto, a wealthy merchant in the Meiji era, is now owned and managed by the Moroto Foundation. Adjacent to the north side of this garden is the Rokukaen. There is a charge of 500 yen for the garden, 450 yen for the Rokukaen, and a discounted price of 750 yen for both tour tickets.

The building and the nice garden are wonderful. The guide showed me pictures of the changing gardens in each season, and I wanted to visit them many times. It is amazing that all these things are well maintained.

I do not know that the park is open only in spring and autumn If you didn't buy a common ticket at Rokkaen It was a place to go home without seeing such a nice garden The entrance was for the warehouse and it was a little narrow Tripod is NG I was asked if I should keep large luggage at the reception because it is cobbled and my feet are dangerous, so I left my backpack and when I got out of the building, colored autumn leaves were in front of me There are tea rooms and rooms in some places along the route, but unfortunately I can not enter inside Still it is decorated with flowers There are flowers in the chozubachi View from a small room in the garden It would be great to sit here and spend some time In a great garden Who made this my own When I think about it, it's tremendous National important cultural properties and Mie important cultural properties are everywhere The autumn leaves reflected on the waterside between Rokkaen were also wonderful. In the back, the sound of carpentry I wonder if there was a nice building here as well I wonder if it will be rebuilt and completed. Because it was open until Sunday It was really good to be seen Next time I would like to go during the spring and light up period

It seems that it will be open to the public twice a year, in spring and autumn. I visited here on the last day of the fall open house. The autumn leaves ? were in full bloom and it was wonderful. Part of the garden was under construction and access was restricted. Also, I would like to visit when it is open to the public in spring ?
