Suizenji Jojuen Garden. a traditional Japanese style garden, is probably one of the most famous travel attractions in Kumamoto. The Garden was created from 1636 and took about 80 years to reach the current garden facilities and style. In 1929, it was designated as a national treasure.

Inside the Garden, there are Izumi Shrine and Inari Shrine. There is also a tea house, Kojin-Denju-no-Ma Tea House, which is free for entrance visit, [tea service charge is separate]. The said tea house probably has the best spot for the visitors to enjoy the view of the pine trees and Pond whose water was provided by the under-ground springs of Mount Aso. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, after Kumamoto earthquake in 2016, the underground springs from Mount Aso stopped flowing to the Pond, and the Pond in Suizenji Jojuen is shrinking in size.

Visitors can take Kumamoto city tram from Kumamoto Train Station and get off at Suizenji Park and take a few minutes' walk to the Garden. The entrance fee is $ 400 Yen for the adult, and $200 for the children or students under 18.
