Listed on National Scenic Landmark. Built in 1697 as the villa of the Fourth Lord Tachibana
Akitora. At that time the region was called Hanabatake (Field of flower), so the villa was
named Ohana or Flower. The garden itself spread out over 3300 square meters and is laid
out in such a way as to evoke the image of Matsushima in Sendai. It was extensively
renovated in 1908 to 1910.
