There are three gardens at Fukuchiin: the Horai Yusentei rock garden, Aizentei, and Tosentei. They were all designed by the landscape architect, Mirei Shigemori. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the gardens all day as they change from morning to when they are illuminated at night . Fukuchiin also has shukubo temple lodgings.
