Oyaku-en is a classic Japanese strolling garden designed for tranquility and seasonal beauty. Its central pond is surrounded by winding paths, stone lanterns, and a charming teahouse where visitors can enjoy matcha and sweets. The garden is especially lovely during cherry blossom season and autumn, when the maple leaves turn brilliant red. It offers a calm retreat from the city, with carefully manicured landscapes that reflect traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Don't miss

  • Sit in the teahouse and enjoy matcha while overlooking the pond.
  • Stroll the paths to see seasonal flowers, including irises in early summer.
  • Photograph the stone lanterns and bridges reflected in the pond.
