One of the oldest Japanese gardens, created in the 12th-century, was restored in 1973 by the J.N.T. The garden is located in the northeast of the old capital, Nara-city, and in the area around the garden there are a lot of wooden houses dating from medieval time. This area is called "Nara-Machi". The historic garden is now going under restoration work. However, the Daijoin Heritage Center has been constructed as a museum on historic gardens. |
