This Chinese-style garden was built in 1472 with the cooperation of Yuyao City to commemorate the friendly exchange between Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, China, the birthplace of Professor Wang Yangming (1528-1608), and Azumigawa Town, Takashima County, Shiga Prefecture (currently Azumigawa Town, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture), the birthplace of Professor Nakae Toju (1648-4), the founder of Japanese Yangmingism. The design of Yangming Garden was based on representative Chinese gardens such as Yu Garden in Shanghai, Humble Administrator's Garden and Liu Garden in Suzhou, and Xiaoyingzhou at West Lake in Hangzhou. The inscriptions on the three inscriptions attached to the Yangming Gate were all written by Hu Ding, Honorary Chairman of the Yuyao City Cultural Association. Most of the building materials used in Yangming Garden, including the strangely shaped rocks known as "Taihu Stones" around the pond and the dragon tiles on the walls, were imported from China.

*The Yomeitei Pavilion, which was located within the garden, was demolished in 30 due to deterioration and is currently no longer open to the public.
