This is a good place with awesome atmosphere. Beautiful and quite garden. You can enjoy nice views all season.

5tips for visitors

If you visit there in summer ,don’t forget mosquito repellent spray. Actually there are a lot of mosquitoes everywhere during summer.

In spring you can see an amazing cherry blossom tree in full bloom near the entrance. It’s so big and called “Shidare Sakura”in Japan. So many people visit there to take pictures. During special weeks it is illuminated after sunset.

In autumn you can see beautiful autumn leaves here and there . The best time to see autumn leaves is from mid November to early December. At a perfect period to see them ,some trees are illuminated after sunset.

You can drink matcha at the small cafe “Fukiage-Chaya”in the middle of the garden. And during illuminated trees period ,closing time extends pm9:00. you can drink beer and taste some traditional snacks at the food stand.

Opening hours. am 9:00-pm5:00. （But you have to enter at least by pm4:30.!!)

I hope you will have a great time . Enjoy!!
