Meiji Jingu Inner Garden or Meiji Gyoen existed long before Meiji Shrine itself. The highlight of the garden is the iris garden, which is in full bloom from late May through late June. There are 1, 500 iris plants of 150 species in the garden. The garden is also surrounded by other plants and trees. The garden was built in the early Edo Period by Lord Kato of Kumamoto. Kato is credited with finishing the building of Kumamoto Castle in 1610, one of Japan's three great castles. Nan-Chi Pond, which is 8, 300 square meters of pure spring water. Some of the carp present are said to be the offspring of the carp originally released into the pond by Emperor Meiji more than one hundred years ago. Overlooking the pond is Kakuun-tei, a teahouse built on the order of Emperor Meiji to be a rest house for Empress Shoken. The gentle slope between the tea house and the pond is covered with a lush lawn punctuated with shrubbery.
