Shohinken
This tea house was built by Yatsushiro-ruling lord Matsui Naoyuki in 1688 specifically for his mother.
The name "Shohinken" comes from the fact that the hut originally stood on the pine tree-covered beach looking over the Yatsushiro Sea.
It features flowers of all four seasons. The iris flowers blooming here in June every year are particularly well-known for their beauty, drawing many visitors from in and out of the prefecture.
It was designated as a Place of Scenic Beauty of Japan in 2002.
