『東氏館跡庭園』とは、中世（鎌倉～室町時代）の武家屋敷の跡です。大きな見所は、庭園に造られた池の遺構。その時代に造られた池が原型を留めている例は数少なく、文化財としての高い価値が認められて1987年（昭和62年）に国の名勝に指定されました。池の中央に置かれた中島には、鶴や亀に見えるように巧みに石が組まれ、風流な暮らしぶりを垣間見ることができます。
The "Tō Clan Manor Ruins and Garden" features the remnants of samurai residences from the Middle Ages (Kamakura period to Muromachi period, 1185-1573). One of the main attractions is the remnant of an artificial pond in the garden. There are few examples of artificial ponds from that time period that are still intact, so it is recognized as being a highly valuable cultural asset, and it was designated a national place of scenic beauty in 1987. On the island that sits in the middle of the pond, stones are skillfully placed to look like cranes and turtles, a showing you a glimpse of the elegant way of life of that period.
