You’ll find a stunning Japanese garden that rivals the beauty of Kyoto 📍 Japanese Garden at Cowden ⭕️ How to Get There 🚄 Take a train from Edinburgh Waverley Station to Stirling Station, which takes about 1 hour. 🚌 From there, a taxi or bus ride of approximately 30 minutes will get you to the Japanese Garden at Cowden. 🌸 Designed by a renowned Japanese gardener, this garden embodies the essence of Japanese landscaping with its picturesque bridges, flowing streams, stone lanterns, and cherry blossom trees. Every corner is like a painting, and it’s even more beautiful when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring! 💦 The garden features a walking path around a lake with crystal clear water. You might spot swans, wild ducks, and even frogs. 🍵 Inside the garden, there’s a Japanese tea room where you can savor authentic matcha and Japanese sweets. There’s also a dedicated meditation area for those who enjoy some quiet time. 🌙 The iconic “Moon Gate” with its circular opening is perfect for photos, especially if you’re dressed in a kimono (available for rent at £20 per hour within the garden). #UK #UKHiddenGems #AroundEdinburgh #DayTripsFromEdinburgh #EdinburghWeekend #GlasgowSurroundings #UKTravelGuide
