Sankelen Garden isa spacious Japanese garden created by Sankei
(born as Tomitaro) Hara, a successful Yokohama businessman who
had built a fortune through his silk business. The garden is
‘approximately 175,000 m?in space and is located on land facing
Tokyo Bay. The construction started in 1902 and took 20 years to
‘complete. Sankeien is comprised of two gardens: the outer garden
that became open to the public in 1906 and the inner garden that
‘was for Sankel's private use. Being in perfect harmony with the 17
historic architectural properties (temples or buildings associated
