Abstract
Suizenji Park is particularly famous as a tourist destination in the Kumamoto area. In 1632, a feudal lord of Kumamoto, Hosokawa Tadatoshi, built Suizenji. The third lord, Hosokawa Tsunatoshi, built a garden. It was designed in a style that provides a miniature depiction of "Tokaido." However, the tourists who visit Suizenji Park have been decreasing in number recently. In this paper, the author discusses why Suizenji Park is separated from the tourist draw in Kumamoto. In addition, the author considers a policy through which tourists could be encouraged to come visit Suizenji Park again. As a result, this paper proposes a private plan to promote sightseeing cooperation between Suizenji Park and Tokaido, with a special focus on the Tokaido Summit.
