Okochi Sanso Garden

A very beautiful place to admire nature and the views of the city. Another attraction (included in the ticket price) is tea tasting. I suppose that in the summer, when everything is in bloom, you can truly appreciate the charm of this place. I highly recommend this place.

Well worth a visit! I believe it’s 1000 yen to enter, but it’s much quieter than at the bamboo forest and it’s very pretty. You’re starting to see some autumn colours (mid October), and the garden is just wonderful. The views of Kyoto from the top are also lovely as you can frame the vistas with the surrounding foliage. You walk most of the time through isolated stones that can be a tad slippery if their wet (it rained this morning) so be careful and bring adequate shoes. Not suited for wheelchairs or strollers. You’ll also be able to hear and possibly see some beautiful birds ❤️

Well worth to visit this beautiful garden estate, in my opinion even more than the garden of a hundred flowers. Incredible scenery and perfectly cared for plants. The Zen garden part should not be missed. We probably spend 30 minutes there relaxing and taking it in.

Worth to visit here!! I never known this place before , just walked through Arashiyama bamboo and found this stunning place. The garden is very big, entrance fee is just 1000 yen. Inside , there is a relaxing place with tea free of charge. The atmosphere is superb !!

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.

As per its description, it is a beautiful garden. We really enjoyed strolling around, following its path. Not crowded (not as the bambou forest is), It is a wonderful peaceful place.

Beautiful chilled circular walk around a lovely garden. 1000¥ price keeps out the crowds. Takes a slow 40 mins approx. Nice little display at the end with pics of the actor who created it.

This is an absolute must see when visiting the area. Breathtaking views everywhere you look. There’s also a rest house with complimentary matcha drinks that were very delicious! Highly recommend
