    Sankeien was created by Sankei Hara, a businessman who made his fortune through the silk trade. The garden, which covers approximately 17.5 hectares （ (about 3.7 times the size of the Tokyo Dome), is a Japanese garden where visitors can enjoy seasonal scenery in harmony with ancient architecture and nature. When the garden first opened, the garden was opened to the public free of charge for 24 hours a day under the slogan "free to visit," reflecting Hara Sankei's belief that "beautiful things should be enjoyed by everyone together. During Hara Sankei's lifetime, the garden also served as a place to nurture and support budding artists, and is highly regarded for its contribution to Japanese art, having produced artists such as Yokoyama Taikan, Shimomura Kanzan, and Maeda Seison. In 1953 （ Showa 28 ）, the Hara family transferred the property to the City of Yokohama, and the Sankeien Hoshokukai Foundation was established, which continues to this day.
