The gardens of Sōraku-en (相楽園) are located in Chūō-ku Kobe Japan. Formerly attached to the Taishō-era residence of Kodera Yasujirō ownership passed to the city of Kobe in 1941 since when they have been open to the public. Most of the former residence was destroyed in the Pacific War; the stables of 1907 survived and have been designated an Important Cultural Property.
