What other travelers are saying about Himeji Rose Garden
Amazing variety of roses that I had never seen before. Some of them smelled incredible, like perfume. It is family, elderly, and handicap friendly. There are small tables and seats all around to sit and relax to enjoy the roses. I would love to come back again. The dessert is also delicious!
If you wanna see some god damn beautiful roses then this is the damn place to be. The location of the rose garden is kinda weird because it’s literally beside manufacturing factories but the place is beautiful. Lots of variations of roses and other flowers are in this place.
Perfect for photo sessions or just a relaxing tea session in their garden.
Make sure to try their drinks and sweets, it was excellent.
The spring roses were in full bloom and incredibly beautiful, but when I came to see the autumn roses they were only half-bloomed, but I really enjoyed the richness of their colors and their scent. When I went to see the autumn roses, I was glad that they came with a calendar for next year.
