Oyakuen Garden

This is very beautiful and a very relaxing place to visit. The scenery is just so easy on eyes. There is a place where you can have some green tea while enjoying the scenery for a very reasonable price. Easy access with the city bus.

For its small size it packs a punch. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and the place only had three other groups. I only spent about 30 minutes here but if you're really going slow and stop for a cup of tea it could take an hour and a half to two hours. Remember to show your day bus pass of you have one to receive a yen discount!

As always with Japanese gardens, this one didn't disappoint. Such sense of calm and Zen all around. It wasn't crowded at all and it was great to just sit and enjoy the sound of the flowing stream. Please note that although most or it is wheelchair/stroller accessible, there are areas rhat youll have a hard time navigating with a stroller or a wheelchair.

Perhaps it was just the time of year, but many of the plants were seemingly in distress. Shame that the small tea house in the center of the garden was not open. The gift shop had some interesting herbal mixtures, though.

I was here in February, so couldn't see the medicinal plant garden but the stroll garden was absolutely amazing -- and I've been to a lot. It's compact but well-composed, so feels like another world even though it's in the middle of a nondescript neighborhood. We were alone the whole time except when a tour group trooped though. The matcha set and gift shop are good too, bought medicinal herb tea and honey at the latter.
