Sorakuen Garden 相楽園

A garden "to feel good"

In the center of the city of Kobe, the Sorakuen garden, which literally means “the pleasure of feeling good together”, is a Japanese-style garden open to the public since 1941. It differs from other traditional gardens in the country because of its small Western touches, added during the Meiji era.
