HAKUSASONSO VILLA & GARDEN
Kawaramachi-Shijo Sagaru
Shimogyo-ku
Kyoto 606-8018
Tel/Fax: 011-81-(75)352-5353
Tucked away on a quiet street in Kyoto, the Hakusasonso Villa is an
oasis of beautiful plants and flowering trees. Enchanting footpaths
meander around traditional Japanese structures, transporting visitors to
a magical place. This property served as daily inspiration for
celebrated Japanese artist Hashimoto Kansetsu (1883-1945). What's so
extraordinary about the property is that the artist built the garden
entirely from nothing, all by himself! Great inspiration for any
backyard gardener!
