Serene and elegant moments at Toin Chasetsu.

Nakamura Park, centered around Toyokuni Shrine, was established in 1885 to commemorate the birth of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
It features a classic Japanese stroll-style garden with ponds and scenic views.

The park offers a perfect setting for pre-wedding photos, with Toin Chasetsu (tea house), Fragrance Garden, and a memorial hall, all surrounded by a peaceful bamboo grove.

In spring, cherry blossoms bloom.
In early summer, wisteria flowers sway gently in the breeze, filling the air with their sweet scent.

Nearby, you’ll also find the Nagoya City Hideyoshi & Kiyomasa Museum, which introduces the eras of Hideyoshi and Kato Kiyomasa, as well as the Nakamura Cultural Small Theater and Nakamura Library — ideal for a leisurely stroll or a jog before or after your shoot.
