Viewing.
Former
Moroto
Seiroku
House
Rokkaen.
Completed
in
1913
(Taisho
2)
and
designated
as
a
national
important
cultural
property
in
1997
(Heisei
9).
2001
(Heisei
13)
The
garden
is
designated
as
a
scenic
spot.
It
was
built
by
Josiah
Conder,
the
father
of
modern
Japanese
architecture,
who
worked
on
Rokumeikan,
etc.,
as
a
private
residence
of
the
second
generation
Shizuru
Moroto,
known
as
the
King
of
Forests.
It
is
a
rare
building
that
connects
the
Western-style
building
and
the
Japanese-style
building,
and
is
known
as
a
tourist
attraction
in
Kuwana
City.
It
was
a
fine
day,
and
I
came
to
Kuwana
City
just
for
Rokkaen,
which
I
had
wanted
to
see
for
a
long
time.
It
took
about
two
hours
to
drive
the
car
and
arrived
at
around
11:30
AM
when
I
started
to
get
a
little
hungry.
Park
the
car
in
the
parking
lot
along
the
Ibigawa
River
and
leave.
The
entrance
is
Japanese
style
and
wooden.
Pay
the
admission
fee
there,
enter
and
turn
left
along
the
road.
In
front
of
me
is
a
Western-style
building
with
a
pale
blue
outer
wall
that
does
not
seem
to
be
a
private
residence.
Is
it
an
extension
on
the
right
side
instead
of
the
entrance
there?
The
cafe
will
be
the
entrance.
Chairs
are
lined
up
by
the
window,
from
which
you
can
see
the
backyard
and
become
a
place
to
relax.
First,
turn
it
sideways
into
the
Japanese-style
building
on
the
right.
There
are
three
Japanese-style
rooms
along
the
long
corridor
facing
the
backyard.
When
you
open
the
door,
you
can
see
the
backyard
and
the
scenic
spot
on
the
front
side.
It
is
a
mysterious
space
where
you
can
see
different
scenery.
The
Western-style
building
is
on
the
left.
There
are
2
rooms
on
the
1st
floor
and
3
rooms
on
the
2nd
floor.
Was
it
used
for
meetings
and
work?
It's
a
room
that
doesn't
smell
like
life.
But
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
tea
time
while
looking
at
the
garden
on
the
terrace.
The
maid's
room
is
so
small
that
if
you
lay
out
a
futon,
you'll
have
trouble
stepping
on
it.
Was
it
just
one
person?
On
this
day,
two
groups
were
taking
a
commemorative
photo
of
their
wedding
ceremony.
Relatives
were
also
excited
about
the
beauty
of
this
place.
Inside
and
outside,
outside
from
inside,
inside
from
outside.
I
stayed
there
for
3
hours
in
a
place
where
I
could
see
it
no
matter
where
I
looked.
There
is
a
free
private
parking
lot
along
the
Ibigawa
River
and
a
little
behind
the
road.
If
you
put
them
all
together,
maybe
50
cars
can
be
parked?

観覧。
旧諸戸静六邸
六華苑（ろっかえん）。
1913年(大正2年)竣工、1997年(平成9年)に国の重要文化財に指定。2001年(平成13年)庭園が名勝に指定。
山林王として知られた２代目諸戸静六の個人宅として、鹿鳴館などを手掛けた日本近代建築の父ジョサイア・コンドル設計で建築されました。
洋館と和館が繋がった珍しい建物で、桑名市の観光名所として知られています。
この日は晴天、前々から観たかった六華苑だけのために桑名市にやって来ました。
車を走らせる事約二時間、少しお腹が空き始めたAM11:30くらいに到着。揖斐川沿いの駐車場に車を停め、いざ出発。
エントランスは日本式で木造です。そちらで入館料を支払い、入ってちょっと先を道沿いに左に曲がります。目の前にはとても個人邸宅とは思えない淡い青の外壁の洋館。そこの入り口ではなく右側に増築？されたカフェが入り口になります。窓際に椅子が並んでおり、そこからは裏庭が見えてくつろげる場所になっています。それを横目に先ずは右側の和館の中へ。裏庭に面した長い廊下沿いに和室が三つ。戸を開けると裏庭と表側の名勝が見えるようになっています。違った景色が見える不思議な空間です。
洋館は左側。１階は二部屋、２階女中部屋を合わせて公開されているのは３部屋。会議や仕事用に使っていたのかな？って感じで生活臭のしない部屋です。でもテラスで庭を眺めながらティータイムしたら最高でしょうね。女中部屋はめっちゃ狭くて布団を敷いたら足の踏み場に困るくらいです。一人だけだったのかな？
この日は二組が結婚式の記念撮影をされていました。親族の方々もここの美しさにテンション上がりまくってはしゃいでおられました。
中も外も、中からの外、外からの中。どこを観てもウットリする場所で、３時間も滞在していました。
駐車場は揖斐川沿いと道を挟んだちょっと奥に無料の専用駐車場があります。全部合わせたら５０台くらい停められるかも？
