Landscape architect Yasuhei Nagaoka played an active part during the Meiji period and Taisho era in designing the parks of various parts of Japan. These parks still exist today. However, there is little documentation relating to his park design, and therefore little information on his itineraries of design. This paper aims to understand his itineraries for designing parks by examining his notes. These show that Nagaoka went into the field in response to requests for park design from the local government. They reveal that he pointed out problems and made improvements whilst conducting surveys; he also completed design drawings whilst travelling, and submitted them to the local government. In addition, he received many requests to design or improve gardens. He visited them and offered advice. An assistant travelled with him who helped to conduct surveys and draw designs. He sometimes made designs with a locally employed worker. Whilst the itineraries of Yasuhei Nagaoka’s design have been clarified by this paper, detailed examination of his design technique is a further problem.
