「御館跡庭園」 熊本県 /“Mitatiato Garden" Kumamoto Pref
令和2年7月、熊本県人吉市を豪雨が襲い広範囲にかけて未曾有の洪水被害が発生しました。それ以前までは「人吉市 お庭ご覧」というオープンガーデンコースが定着し人吉市内の様々な日本庭園が私達庭園ファンや観光客に公開されていました。しかし洪水により多くの庭が洪水で泥に埋もれ「お庭ご覧」も中止となり現在まで再開されていません。洪水被害から免れた庭、復旧した庭、もしくはそのまま失われてしまった庭もあるかもしれません。実情は不明ですが洪水以前まで「お庭ご覧」で公開されていた在りし日の庭園の写真を資料としてここに投稿します。
「御館跡庭園」 熊本県人吉市
人吉城内の相良神社そばに残る「御館跡庭園・みたちあとていえん」は、本来はこの場所にあった人吉城主・相良氏の居宅「御館・みたち」に付随していたもので、公的な饗応を行った表御殿の南端にあった玄関〜大広間〜使者の間から眺めることができた池泉回遊式庭園です。また背後の城や山々と一体となった借景式庭園でもあり、小さいながらも大名庭園ならではのスケール感のあるお庭と言えます。

In July 2020, heavy rains hit Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, causing unprecedented flood damage over a wide area. Prior to this, an open garden course called "Hitoyoshi City Garden Viewing" was established, and various Japanese gardens in Hitoyoshi City were open to garden enthusiasts and tourists. However, many gardens were buried in mud due to the flood, and "Garden Viewing" was canceled and has not resumed to this day. Some gardens may have escaped the flood damage, been restored, or simply lost. The actual situation is unknown, but here are some photos of the gardens that were open to the public on "Garden Viewing" before the flood as a reference.
"Mitatiato Garden" Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture
The "Mitatiato Garden" that remains near Sagara Shrine in Hitoyoshi Castle was originally attached to the "Mitachi" residence of the Sagara clan, the lord of Hitoyoshi Castle, which was located here. It is a stroll-style garden with a pond that could be viewed from the entrance, large hall, and messenger's room at the southern end of the main palace, where official banquets were held. It is also a borrowed scenery garden that is integrated with the castle and mountains behind it, and although it is small, it has the sense of scale that is unique to a daimyo garden.
