#Wandering Japan# Located in the southwest corner of the University of Tokyo's Hongo, the "Waitokukan Garden" was still owned by the Maeda family, the former lord of the Kaga domain, when the University of Tokyo was founded. After the Meiji era, the Marquis Maeda's family, which still had a Chinese status, also had a Western-style building and a Japanese-style building on this land to receive the emperor. Today, the building no longer exists, but the attached garden remains. Surrounded by waterfalls, streams, and ponds, the garden is surrounded by waterfalls, streams, and ponds from the top of the conical Tsukuyama at the southern end to the northeast slope, and is valuable as a remnant of a garden built by an old feudal lord in the Edo period. The Huaideokan Garden has been designated as a National Monument.
