It’s a beautiful tranquil garden. We were honoured to be chosen by Eiko for an unexpected free tour. She was so lovely and explained a lot of facets of the garden in great detail. Ookini!

A beautiful manicured garden in Nara
We have visited this garden during our trip to Nara at the end of June 2025. We have entered at the very end of the day just an hour before closing and found ourselves among very few other visitors in the garden. The attention to detail is impressive - beautiful selection of plants as well as some wildlife- butterflies, bees, lizards and fish in the pond.
Given more time and less hot day I would really enjoy an opportunity to sit down and meditate whilst admiring the scenery.

Beautiful garden away from the crowds of Nara Park. Completely free and with such a serene environment within. There are also free public restrooms inside with zero queues! Highly recommend taking a stroll through here to reset after fending off the deer

We randomly stumbled upon this garden on our way to Nara Park, definitely worth going off the main crowded route. Beautiful hidden garden with well preserved traditional architecture.

Such a fantastic hidden gem garden with peaceful vibe. I have never seen this much maintained garden before. Definitely worths a visit. Just after spending some tike with the deers on the way back to Nara station, you can stop and have some rest at this wonderful place. Pathways are well designed, colors are super nice, toilets are such clean.. I don't know what i can say more... Just see it.
