  • The renowned Japanese haiku poet Matsuo Basho lived in a hut overlooking the valley where Chinzanso Garden stands.  Prince Aritomo Yamagata built a villa here and named it Chinzanso  "House of Camellias” because of the many camellias that grow here. Yamagata incorporated the topography of the grounds to its best advantage to create a unique Japanese garden here. Later the property was purchased by Baron Fujita who decorated the grounds with historical monuments from all over Japan.  Most notably a thousand year old pagoda was transported from the Chikurin-ji temple in Hiroshima Prefecture.  Other cultural treasures are found in the garden include stone lanterns and many Buddhist rakan or disciple sculptures. The grounds of Chinzanso are now a part of a large luxury hotel, however visitors are free to walk the grounds of the garden.

  • Mizubachi or chozubachi is a water basin.  This one was constructed mainly for washing and drinking water, though most chozubachi are found at temples for the sake of purifying the hands and mouth.  A similar object is the tsukubai though it should be noted that these are found chiefly at tea ceremony huts or Japanese gardens devoted to tea ceremony.  This particular mizubachi was brought to Chinzanso Garden from Kyoto.
