If you are a first timer traveler in Japan like me, make sure you visit many historical places in Japan as many as possible. Besides its authentic vibes, it will give you more insight. For example, this garden, Sorakuen.

I came to this place in the early November so we still can see many green leaves there. However, it's kind of astonishing place for me since this location is in the city center and off course that's very rare. It has a historical sense once you get in and very attractive everywhere you are looking at. Enjoy your moment in this place just by spending less than 500 yen or free for those recident who have memory pass card. About this free pass, you can ask your university officer or ward office.

You can reach this place by using bus or train and continue by walking. Nevertheless, if you carry older family member, i recommend taxi regardless its more higher fare. Go to the ticket locket and get some information about this beautiful garden, sometimes it has event and it also held ceremonial tea (with reservation). You can check before on the sorakuen website because there will be days for private event, which you should avoid to come on this date.
