Japanese Garden (Akebonoyama Agricultural Park)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a Japanese garden adjoining Akebonoyama Agricultural Park, laid out with a pond and groves of trees. The quietly tended scenery is a contrast to the liveliness of the park, and simply walking through it settles the mind. Move on a little and you come to the park's landmark, a white Dutch-style windmill, and flower fields that are replanted with the seasons. In summer, tall flowers such as sunflowers are often at their best, and it is popular as a photogenic spot. Making one circuit of the whole park before the water play makes the afternoon run more smoothly.

Tips

The flowers in bloom change with the season, so checking the official information for the best viewing period keeps things as you hoped. Some areas have little shade, so hats and drinks are essential. The garden is a place to walk quietly, so remind the children not to run about. Admission and parking are both free.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The morning, before the sun grows strong, is the easiest time for walking.
