国の登録記念物になっている文化財庭園を持つ旅荘兼レストラン。庭園は、著名な南画家の谷文晁による作庭とされ、この場所の字名である「岩花」に谷の弟子である渡辺崋山が自らの「華」をかけて命名したとされる由緒ある庭園です。幕末には渡辺崋山のほか、高野長英など多数の文人墨客が訪れたらしく、明治以降昭和初期にかけては東京の文化人とのサロン的な役割を担ったそうです。戦後は社交クラブ、その後旅荘として使われるようになりました。庭園部は主屋の南側に位置し、主屋からの着座観賞と池泉周遊の両方により楽しめる構造になっています。元々あった岩盤を削り出して、その際に生じた岩を池泉の護岸に利用したり、その上の斜面に積み上げて、岩による仮山という築山を創り上げています。園内には近江八景や甲斐の猿橋、厳島など日本各地の名勝が見立てられているそうです。
