Isuien Garden, Nara

Isuien Garden is a Japanese garden in Nara, Japan. It covers an area of 13,500 sq meters (145,000 sq ft). Created in the 19th century during the Meiji Period, Isuien Garden originally comprised two separate gardens. It was merged as one in 1939 when a local merchant, Jyunsaku Nakamura, bought it up and combined it to provide space for the Neiraku Museum of Japanese Ceramics.

Isuien Garden is a place to contemplate nature. You can admire ponds with carefully laid rocks. The trees are carefully manicured. At the west pool is the house of Hyoshintei, designed by Kimura Seibei, who used the technique of borrowed landscape, taking advantage of the Todai-ji Temple to the north and Himuro sanctuary to the south.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
