An experience you won`t find anywhere else.

The garden was designed to be leisurely strolled through, and each step offers a new perspective on the garden's scenery. Seasonal flowers and one thousand carefully maintained pine trees create gorgeous scenery that changes throughout the seasons. Passed down through the generations, Ritsurin Garden is truly an invaluable cultural treasure.

In France’s “Michelin Green Guide Japan,” Ritsurin Garden was given the guidebook’s highest rating of three stars, meaning it is “worth a special journey.”
