The Perfect 7-Day Japan Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"The Okochi Sanso Garden (and home) belonged to the actor Denjirō Ōkōchi; it’s not free (1,000 JPY) but is really nice and offers wonderful views—worth combining with an early visit to the Arashiyama area." - Matthew Kepnes

Beautiful gardens with amazing views. I was disappointed though that on my visit the tea house had closed down ( it was removed from the signage too). The price at 1000Y was high when compared with the most famous gardens in Japan. If you are in the bamboo forest, a walk through the free park there is equally rewarding.

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Much less crowded than the bamboo path, and well worth the money for a path through nature. There is a tea/ice water stopoff to the right when you first walk in, and there is a gardenkeeper’s villa (her “soul resting place”) that is age-limited to 15+ we enjoyed a lot. Please be respectful of the quiet in this place to keep it peaceful.

Slightly overpriced for a short walk. Just beware that there isn’t a “private” bamboo forest in this garden, it’s just views of kyoto, groomed gardens, mini museum, and chilling rooms.

Peaceful, relaxing garden with a nice view of the city at the top. They have a one way path to help with traffic, and lots of places to sit down and rest. The bathrooms were also in good shape. On site there is also a memorial to an early Japanese actor. Worth the price of admission!!

Nice garden and is the former home and garden of the Japanese jidaigeki actor Denjirō Ōkōchi. Very iconic in Japan and built in 1913. A few nice view points as well. There is a small admission fee to pay but it is worth it.

Incredible gardens, worth every penny (1000 Yens). It is rather quieter than the walk towards this place. I think it is even underrated, i expected it to be so much more crowded.

One of the most beautiful places, if not the most beautiful, that I have seen in Japan. Very well-maintained garden, very few tourists. Unlimited matcha and other drinks. I would have given 6 stars out of 5 if it were possible. Signed by a French visitor

Absolutely beautiful! I thought it was worth the price to experience the gardens. We went about 15 minutes after they opened, and really enjoyed our time! However, if you have troubles with uneven ground, there are little to no railings throughout the garden.
