In addition, the garden is filled with flowers that bloom throughout the year, and the varied landscape is known as one of the 13 scenic views.

In 1641 (Kanei 18), this area (approximately 10,000 tsubo) was donated by the third shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, and the garden was created in the style of Jozan Ishikawa. The garden is a “chisen stroll garden” and is said to have been created by Jozan Ishikawa, who opened Rakuhoku Shisendo. A characteristic of
Shosei-en’s structure is that the entire garden is designed based on the central axis that connects “Enrin-do,” where the principal image of worship (Amida Nyorai) is enshrined, and “Boukakaku,” which stands in front of it. It has been done. This can be said to be based on the teachings of Shin Buddhism, and the lifestyle standards of Shin Buddhism followers centered on the principal image (Namu Amida Butsu) are reflected in these Buddhist temple gardens. The name “Shangcheng Garden” is taken from a line in the Chinese poet Tao Yuanmei’s “Returning and Raising Diary”: “The garden forms a taste as the days go by.” It was named by Sennyo Shonin. ■Nighttime exhibition of places that are normally inaccessible ▷Ingetsu Pond A pond located in the center of Shosei-en, a “ikeizumi stroll garden”. It was given this name because the moonlight rising from Mt. Higashiyama is reflected beautifully on the water surface. It is approximately 1,700 tsubo in size and occupies about one-sixth of the entire park. Usually, you can only see it from the land side, but during the exhibition period, you can enjoy the view of the garden from above the pond by taking a night boat trip (paid, advance reservation required). ▷Night boat trip (paid/advance reservation required)
