【橫濱】三溪園－橫濱一日遊絕對不夠(一)Sankeien Garden - An one-day tour in Yokohama is definitely too short (1)

我對日式庭園向來不太有興趣，賞櫻和紅葉的季節例外。

I am not quite interested in Japanese gardens, except the seasons of cherry blossoms and maple leaves.

｜由來Introdution

三溪園是一位買賣絲綢的富商，原三溪所建，原本只有外苑是公園，內苑為他們家人居住處，現在內、外苑都開放參觀了。

Sankeien was built by Sankei Hara, a rich business man accumulating his wealth from silk trading. Originally the inner part was only for his family members. Now all is publicly opened.

遇到好幾對來拍婚紗的，順便變成遊客的拍照題材。

Bumped into several couples for wedding shoots; and becoming visitors’ models.

天氣仍是頗冷，新娘行動時需要披著羽絨外套。

Quite cold and a down coat was needed.

｜內苑導覽 The guided tour of Inner Garden

我參加了內苑的志工導覽行程，這樣就不用自己找路也不用抓重點。

I joined an 1-hr guide tour by volunteers; then I didn’t have to read the guidebook.

厲害的是裡面不少建築都是從很遠的地方，例如關西搬來。

Which surprised me was that many buildings were moved from far away, including Kansai.

搬來的甚至包括合掌造，記得是因為原本位於會被黑部水庫淹沒的地方，然後因緣際會的搬來這裡。

They even moved a rafter roofed house! I remembered that it would be flooded by Kurobe Dam if staying at its origin place. Then the owner got the chance to have it moved here.

｜路癡到達法 Get there as a no-brainer

我從桜木町搭公車來，在JR桜木町駅南口前面會停一堆公車，往左走，從2號乘車處搭8或148系統，到三溪園前下車即可。公車從JR橫濱駅開過來的，所以也可以在橫濱上車。

橫濱的公車搭一次一口價220日圓，嗶IC卡216日圓，前門上車付過錢後，下車直接從後門下就行了。

一日無限乘公車的成人票售價500日圓，可以在觀光案內所買，也可以上車跟司機買(不會日語沒關係，掏出五百他一定知道你想幹嘛)，只要一日搭超過三趟就值得買。

Took a bus from JR Yokohama Station or JR Sakuragicho Station. I did from the latter. Leave the station from south exit, and turn left to the bus station. Then find the bus stop 2 and take an 8 or 148 bus to Sankeien Mae.

A flat rate of an one-way bus fare in Yokohama is 220(cash) or 216(IC card) yens. Pay when getting on the bus, and you don’t have to do anything before getting off.

An 1-Day bus pass costs you 500 yens. You can get it either in the tourist information center or on the bus. Don’t worry if the bus driver doesn't speak English; give him 500 yens and he must realize what you want. It’s worthy if you’ll take buses in Yokohama more than 3 times a day.
