Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa, a close aide of the fifth Shogun Tsunayoshi, constructed a townhouse which has a beautifully developed garden in the field that he received. The garden was named after Rikugi of “Shikyo” (poetry).

水戸徳川家の上屋敷内の庭で、初代藩主・頼房が着手、二代・光圀が完成させました。回遊式築山泉水庭園で、随所に中国的趣向を凝らしています。「後楽園」の名は、『岳陽楼記』の中にある「天下の憂いに先じて憂い、天下の楽しみに後れて楽しむ」から付けられました。 The garden was in residence of the Mito Tokugawa family. The primary lord Yorifusa started to build it, and the second lord Mitsukuni completed the construction. This pond garden, which is full of Chinese flavor, is in the go around style (Kaiyu style) with small artificial hills.
