A nice garden, built in 1896 by Ogawa Jihei for Yamagata Aritomo, a leading member of the Meiji government.
Murin-an is an example of the "borrowed scenery" in landscape gardens as it has a background view of Higashiyama mountains.
The complex designed garden, with western influence, is in strolling-style and has a lawn, two streams, stones and clipped shrubs.
