Former Daijyo-in Temple Garden（Daijyo-in Temple Garden Heritage Center）
※Unauthorized reproduction of images on this page is prohibited
The garden of Daijyo-in Temple, the most prominent subsidiary of Kohfukuji Temple, was renovated in the mid-15th century by Zenami and his son, who were invited from Kyoto. Zenami, a master gardener favored by Ashikaga Yoshimasa of the Muromachi Shogunate, made significant contributions to its development. A section of the garden still exists today just south of the Nara Hotel. The Daijyo-in Garden Cultural Center, situated in a corner of the garden, features a restored model of the former Daijyo-in Temple, along with related artifacts.
