Ichinoe Makkotei Residence and the Garden
Ichinoe Makkotei is a beautiful park that
Edogawaku manages to preserve the residence of Makkoya Tazawa Family, an old family
of Higashi Ichinoe Village since Edo period.
The Tazawa is the old family of Higashi Ichinoe Village, so the family
had had very large lands,
Tokugawa Shoguns rested at the residence when they went hawking. In Edogawaku, there exist
several landmarks where the 8th Shougun
Yoshimune Tokugawa had taken rest in. Their family business was producing incense powder
(Makko), therefore the family had been called Makkoya (incense shop). And
there is an over 750 year old Machilus thunbergi in the garden and the
family dried its leaves and powdered them with a stone mill, then they
put the powder to their incense.
Though the garden of Ichinoe Makkotei is not very large, it is managed
well to keep beautiful. In spring, several weeping cherry trees bloom and
in fall, colored leaves put some colors on the garden. Visitors could enjoy
Ichinoe Makkotei while they walk along
Ichinoe Sakaigawa Shinsui Prak. Why don't you visit Ichinoe Makkotei?
