Chofu Garden

The Chisen Kaiyu style garden (a style of a Japanese garden with a path around a central pond and spring) was made after the residence remains of Chofu Domain’s chief retainer, Nishi Yukinaga.
The vast premise of 31,000㎡ entertains visitors with a pond at the center, a study, a tea room, and a small waterfall presenting the garden’s beauty each season.
Various exhibitions are also held at the gallery using the storage.
