About This Video
The former Ikeda Family Garden is a Japanese style garden located in a rural area of Daisen City in Akita prefecture. The garden was arranged by the Ikeda family who was one of the major landowners in the Tohoku region during the Edo period. The Ikeda family are descendants of the Seiwa clan. In 2004 this pretty garden was designated as a National Site of Scenic Beauty. The garden is at its best during autumn. The garden features a beautiful four-meter tall stone lantern and a western-style building constructed in 1922 that is used to accommodate some members of the Ikeda family on occasion.
