About this spot

This Japanese garden spreads across the heights of Cape Bangami, letting you enjoy a stroll among seasonal flowers and plants and around a garden pond. From its location overlooking the Sea of Japan, you can even see Sado Island, making it a fitting quiet moment at the start of your trip. The strolling-style garden, with its stone steps and winding paths, has plenty of shade, making it relatively cool to walk through even on a summer morning. Get moving a little before swimming and build anticipation for the sea ahead.
