 Tips about Kairakuen

Kairakuen is one of Japan's top three gardens, with stunning features like a plum orchard, a bamboo forest, lakes, and rivers.

- What to do: Explore the plum flower field and KOBUNTEI house. Visit the park next to Kairakuen with a beautiful lake and sakura trees or walk around the lower level Japanese gardens for serene views.
- What to eat: Try the plum soft cream by the lake.
- What to avoid: Avoid attending light shows, as they may not meet expectations and can be crowded.
- Tips: Visit after 6:30 pm to avoid queues, aim to visit during spring for cherry blossoms or peak fall foliage, appreciate the villa with the extra entrance fee for a more immersive experience.
