Shibata Family Garden (Amantoen)

Strolling-style forest garden with Mt. Nosaka as a backdrop This is the former home of Gon'emon Shibata, a wealthy Tsuruga farmer who was commissioned by the Obama feudal lord to develop new rice fields in the area during the Edo period. It was built in the early Edo period, and is also known as Kantoen. It also served as a resting place for the Obama feudal lord during the shift of Sankin. With the backdrop of Mt. Nosaka, the symbol of Tsuruga, the simple old-style shoin structure and garden create a calm space, and it has been designated as a national scenic spot.
