It is said to have first been built in [[1677]] by King [[Sho Tei|Shô Tei]], as a place to entertain visiting [[Chinese investiture envoys|envoys from China]] and [[Satsuma han]]. The garden was in a distinctively Ryukyuan style, and included a viewing tower and tearoom. It was destroyed in the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, but efforts to petition to have it rebuilt continue.
