A good option to the over priced park next to this one. Nice tea house and paths. Went there before the blooming season but should be more beautiful in 1-2 months. This park is for free!

Surprisingly bigger than I thought, it has 3 gardens. Free entrance, it’s hard to navigate from the Main Street it doesn’t have an obvious entrance, there’s another garden next door with entrance fees, makes sure you go through the right gate into this park. Worth detouring even during winter as they still have a lot of greenery l, expect 15min to explore the area.

A lovely peaceful garden, totally free and easy to find. Visiting in late October, there were no flowers anymore and it was too early for autumn foliage. But the well-kept moss and cute paths were nice to see, and the rest spots were well placed. Overall nothing amazed me, but I had an enjoyable time. There was a tour group visiting though, which didn't quite match the zen atmosphere.

This is my second visit and after almost five (5) years the garden still looks great. You can always pass by the garden in case you have free time especially after visiting Nara temple and park nothing that the garden admission is free. The garden itself is well maintained and provides fresh air and relaxing atmosphere as well as many spots to just sit back and enjoy the view.

Beautiful estate that’s free to enter. The place is like a peek to the past where people are so rich that you can have a separate building just to have tea in. 🧐 the tea house is pretty amazing though and would totally want to have tea there. The other highlight is the moss garden where the lawn is just specialty moss that’s soft to the touch.
