Roka Koshun-en Gardens
"There is nowhere better than Kasuya"
These are words written by Kenjiro Tokutomi, a literary master from the Meiji to Taisho periods who used to live on this land, in his book "Ramblings of an Earthworm".
This park was created by renovating the residence, where Roka Tokutomi, who wrote famous works such as 'The Cuckoo" and "Nature and Man", lived for 20 years with her husband until she passed away and its vicinity.
You can experience how they lived in quiet retirement dividing time between work and intellectual pursuits at the time at the "Former Residence of Roka Tokutomi" and the "Roka Tokutomi Literature Museum" surrounded by a refreshing bamboo forest and thickets of sawtooth oak and pine oak.
In the park, there is also a "Flower Hill Zone" where you can enjoy flowers of each season such as Takato Kohigan sakuras, wisteria trellis, clover tunnel, as well as sunflower and cosmos flowerbeds.
