About This Destination

A municipal Japanese garden in central Kobe, home to the relocated Hassam House and known for its azaleas.

Sorakuen is a municipal Japanese garden in the Nakayamate area of central Kobe, opened to the public in 1941. The grounds include a pond-and-hill style garden and several preserved historic structures. The best known is the Hassam House, a Western-style residence built around 1902 for the Anglo-Indian trader K. Hassam and moved here from the Kitano district in 1963. A stone-built former stable and the boat-shaped roof of the Kawasaki family villa also stand in the garden. The garden is a well-known spot for azaleas in spring and coloured leaves in autumn.
