Northern Culture Museum & Shimizuen Garden

Tranquil gardens echo with history at Northern Culture Museum, enriching the cultural experience

The model of the Japanese garden, the Clear Water Garden, was formerly known as the "Clear Water Valley Palace", where you can see the beautiful Japanese garden. There is no gorgeous feeling, but a simple study built in the lounge, an ancient site designated as a cultural property in Niigata Prefecture. There is a garden and a mansion built as a lower house in Chaida, simple structure to show the life of the owner of the Edo era. The volunteer guide is knowledgeable and thank you for answering various questions. As I entered the garden entrance, there was a small bamboo basket on the left, medium-sized bamboo growing at medium intervals, giving a refreshing look. Some of it was planted in narrow spaces such as pine, plum, bamboo and bushes and reflected in ponds. The northern Aberdeen Museum in the museum has a lot of information, and friends who want to know can see it. The small waterway near the garden is well maintained, so I can't help but take pictures. I stopped at Yuegang Hot Spring. It takes about 20 minutes from Tsukuoka Hot Spring. It looks like the designated attraction in the country. The pond is shaped like the "water" of cursive books and you can enjoy the eight views of the river in a circle. We went on a weekday so few people. The parking lot is across the street from Ochana. Less than 10 minutes walk from Shibada Station. First enter the Matsuyin District and see the pond from the tatami room. The former Shibaida Yata Yasuki has a foot-holding, a tea house, a museum and a bookstore, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery throughout the year. There is a restaurant that was once a Mikura, but needs to be reserved. The meal with a view of this charming garden will be delicious. Tips: 1.
