#日本旅行記#"Gora Park" is located at the foot of Mt. Soun in Hakone Town, Kanagawa Prefecture, 700 meters above sea level. It was once the garden of the Japanese Royal Earl. It opened in 1914 and is the earliest French rock garden in Japan. This Western garden park, symmetrical on both sides with a fountain as the center, covers an area of 36,000 square meters. There are walking paths made of natural rocks in the park. In addition to the fountain and flower bed facilities, there are three botanical gardens in the park. They are: the spacious "Bougainvillea Pavilion" with a collection of exotic flowers and plants and a southern atmosphere; the "Tropical Plant Pavilion" with tropical plants such as rubber and banana trees as the theme. There is also the "Tropical Herb Pavilion" with about 70 kinds of tropical herbs. In the "Hakuundo Tea Garden" in the park, you can also taste Japanese matcha and Japanese sweets. In the craft workshop, you can also experience pottery and glass blowing.
