About this spot

This strolling-style garden beside Genpei Pond (源平池) within the grounds of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (鶴岡八幡宮) opens only during peony season. The New Year peonies typically bloom from around January 1 to mid-February, with opening hours of 9:00-16:00 and admission of 500 yen (based on the official Reiwa 6 New Year notice). In the clear winter light, the large peony blossoms nestled inside cold-protection straw enclosures create a scene unique to this season. It's also fun to slowly follow the garden paths and count the crimson, white, and pink blossoms together with your kids.
