💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit during spring for cherry blossoms or autumn for vibrant fall colors when the garden is at its most photogenic. Wear comfortable walking shoes as pathways may include uneven stones and gravel. Some gardens may be cash-only for entrance fees, so bring yen just in case, and consider visiting on weekday mornings to avoid crowds.
