「平安古かいまがり交流館」山口県萩市

山口県萩市の平安古（ひやこ）町は江戸時代の武家屋敷の面影を残す国の重要伝統的建造物群保存地区に指定されています。そこにある「平安古かいまがり交流館」の施設名「かいまがり」は江戸時代の鍵の形にちなんだ直角に道をまげて敵の侵入を撹乱させた道のことで萩の武家屋敷街にいくつも残されている観光名所でもあります。そしてこの「平安古かいまがり交流館」は萩藩に寄組としてつかえた武家「旧児玉家」の広大な屋敷跡で庭園が残されています。庭園はこの屋敷地の奥の方に位置し、橋本川から水を引き入れる水路と、笠山石の護岸と舟付場が設けられた池、この池に架かる石橋などが周囲の樹木などとともによく保存されています。このような庭園は、舟入式池泉庭園（ふないりしきちせんていえん）と呼ばれ、かつては川沿いに数多くつくられた武家屋敷の庭園の形式をよく残した貴重な遺構と言えます。

"Hiyako Kaimagari Koryukan" Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture

Hiyako in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, is designated as an important national preservation district for groups of traditional buildings, and retains the appearance of samurai residences from the Edo period. The name of the facility "Hiyako Kaimagari Koryukan" there, "Kaimagari", refers to a road that bent at a right angle, named after the shape of a key in the Edo period, to confuse enemy invasions, and is a tourist attraction that remains in many places in the samurai residence district of Hagi. And this "Hiyako Kaimagari Koryukan" is the vast former residence of the samurai "Kodama family" who served the Hagi domain, and a garden remains. The garden is located at the back of the residence, and the waterway that draws water from the Hashimoto River, the dynamic bank made of volcanic stones from Hagi's only volcano "Kasayama", the pond with a boat dock, the stone bridge over the pond, and other things are well preserved along with the surrounding trees. This type of garden is called a Funairishikichisenteien (boat-entering pond garden), and is a valuable relic that well preserves the style of the gardens of samurai residences that were once built along rivers.
