庭園は夢窓疎石が作庭したと伝わり、上池である曹源池をかこむ池泉回遊式庭園です。
新緑の時期には池に青紅葉が映り込んで視界全体が新緑になるのでとても美しく心が落ち着く場所です。庭の大きさ、回遊路の配置、植物の種類と位置の調和がとれています。作庭した方がこの様子を想像していたとしたら素晴らしい構成力だと思います。

When it is fresh green season, you can see the beautiful fresh green maple leaves and you can see the reflection of the beautiful fresh green maple leaves on the pond at the same time, so that the whole view becomes the fresh green, it is beautiful at all, and your heart will be calming down. There are harmony with a component of a garden, the size of the garden, the placement of the excursion road and the kind of the plant. If the person who had designed garden imagined this situation, I think that it is a splendid garden designer. I think that is one of the most beautiful Japanese garden (with a pond) in Japan.
