💡 Tips for Visitors

Take the moving walkway from the entrance to the top and work your way down to save energy on the steep hillside. English audio guides and information panels are available throughout the garden. Visit in spring for cherry blossoms or autumn for colorful foliage, and allocate at least 1-2 hours to fully explore the grounds.
