1649 Rinshunkaku — “the palace for overlooking spring” — Sankeien garden & historic building museum, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu island, Japan. Built in 1649 during the Edo Period, these 3 buildings were moved from Osaka to Sankeien in 1917 and renamed Rinshunkaku (“the palace for overlooking spring”). Sankeien is a spacious Japanese-style garden and open air museum in southern Yokohama. It exhibits 19+ historic buildings of cultural importance from across Japan. Sankeien’s landmark 3-story pagoda was built in 1457 in Kyoto Prefecture and moved here in 1914. Opened in 1906 by a wealthy silk trader (one of the leading Japanese industrialists of the Meiji era), the garden was damaged in World War II, then reestablished in the 1950s after being donated to Yokohama City.
