History
The garden was originally private. It was created by the wealthy Sahara antique dealer Kiku-u between 1804 and 1830. Presumably, the name of the garden "Hyakkaen" means "a garden of a hundred flowers that bloom throughout the four seasons (that is, all year round)." The last private owner transferred the garden to the city in 1938. In 1939, the garden opened to the general public. In 1978, the garden was given the status of a historical monument [1] .
