In detail

Hokkeji Garden

National Historic Site

The stones and plants in this beautiful garden were brought here in the seventeenth century from the Sento Imperial Palace, once part of the Kyoto residence for retired emperors. The garden is celebrated for its many Japanese irises (Iris laevigata), which bloom in an explosion of violet petals in May, to the delight of visitors.
