Over
Korte feiten: More than 8,000 cherry and plum trees bloom here in spring, creating a fragrant and colorful landscape. The garden features a unique ancient well called the "Well of Samurais", known for its pure, fresh water sourced naturally from underground.
Hoogtepunten: Imagine wandering through over 25 hectares of meticulously arranged ponds, streams, bridges, and waterfalls, each framed by centuries-old pine trees shaped by hand. During winter, a captivating sight unfolds as yukitsuri ropes protect the tree branches from heavy snow, forming a stunning web-like artwork across the garden.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking uneven paths and stone steps throughout the garden.
- Catch a photo of the Kasumiga-ike pond at dawn when the mist creates a mystical effect.
- Skip the peak weekend hours around noon to dodge the largest crowds, especially in spring and fall.
- Bring a light jacket in winter to comfortably enjoy the unique yukitsuri tree supports and snowy scenes.
