This is the star attraction for Kumamoto along with the castle. It’s not too large so it’s a relaxing and scenic walking experience. Landscaping is very similar to the colors of the rolling hills and farm land around kumamoto. You can feed the pigeons and koi if you like. Parking lots are near the garden for about 500 yen. It’s a pretty place and super relaxing to simply sit and take in the beauty.

It was a very beautiful park and we went on a sunny day. they have the biggest Koi fish I’ve ever seen they really like to eat. The Koi fish were doing sort of little turns. It was cute. It’s actually not very big you can get around it kind of fast, but there are some shrines to go to and it’s a nice place where people wear kimonos to dress up there’s a nice walking path and a restaurant too, like the one where you sit on the ground and have a table in front of you to eat and there’s a souvenir shops and restaurants outside as well.

I enjoyed this park, the entrance is a bit hard to find from Google, quite a walk from the tram station if you don't know your way, locate the car park then you will find it quickly. very nice afternoon walk, the park is looked after well and we loved the Japanese traditional garden set up. you can visit the resting area to see paintings of it in the old days. surprised by the nice winter plum flower

This garden is a really remarkable place. It has a replica Mount Fuji, built for the lord's entertainment several centuries ago. There are many varieties of plants, animals, and features that make this park a really unique place to visit. Near the garden entrance, there are several shops and cafes. We had sushi and walked the garden, then had an ice cream. It was a wonderful day, even in winter.

Beautiful garden with very well maintained plants. It’s very calming walking around the park. Was lucky to catch red maple tree leaves still blooming at the end of November. I would imagine if I came earlier and all the trees were red, the view would be even more gorgeous. You can buy some fish food at the entrance if you wanna attract the ducks and fish to you at the pond areas. Tickets are at 400 yen per adult
