Why go
The garden rewards attention to framing: a lantern, bridge or pine appears within a larger arrangement of water and terrain. Its name invokes six landscape qualities, but visitors need no specialist knowledge to enjoy the balance. Take a broad circuit rather than stopping only at the most photographed pond viewpoint.
What to look for
- Kotojitoro lantern and Kasumigaike pond
- Carefully shaped pines and seasonal tree supports
- Linked strolling paths and water features
Useful to know
- Allow 90 minutes or more for an unhurried circuit.
- Paths can be slippery in rain or winter weather.
- Explore beyond the famous lantern viewpoint to see changing compositions.
