Horaien is a useful pause in Kowakudani if you want gardens without committing to a full museum or spa visit. Its operator shows the planted grounds and a separate entrance from the hotel; a separate travel source also treats it as its own stop. The photo is from the garden’s official page. Check present access before setting out.
