Souraiken was the second house of a prosperous merchant family
of the Edo period, the Hashimoto Family. With its elaborately designed
garden and teahouse, this cultural heritage is a powerful reminder of the
prosperity of Onomichi's merchants.
Souraiken Garden's teahouse, “Myokian”, a copy
of the “Myokian-taian” (a National Treasure in Kyoto), is a
structure particularly rare in Japan and is therefore a priceless Cultural
Property.
