What other travelers are saying about Kazahaya no Sato
Very quite and you can only imagine how beautifull it gets when everything is in full bloom. Now you just place 100 yen in the jar in the reception (which was not manned) and walk around (it is combined with the golf field), but nice walk anyway.
Hydrangeas in June. Be prepared to walk. Large parking lot which was surprisingly full on a Monday in June. This is next to a golf course, and wetland. We enjoyed sky lark and nightingale song as we walked along. The path is paved. A couple of steep hillocks within the garden may be tough to traverse with infants. The vista from high and low points is great and different, so its worth the climb— and necessary if you come end of April or early May to see the wisteria. Find cushioned shaded (under an awning) sofas here and there. Washrooms are near the ticket booth or… up a hill past the tunnels of wisteria… kind of far from the hydrangeas. It costs ¥1000 for adult to enter. Great date place. You can buy ice cream and snacks in the garden. Photographer’s delight. One of Mie’s top three garden destinations!
best viewing of flowers for seasons. just there web site for best bloom. pets are allowed and walking course is good. Bring more water on summer and UV protection.
we've been here last year during wisteria season... the place is peaceful , it is very ideal place for relaxation while breathing fresh air with those pretty dancing flowers in the wind. Can't wait the plum trees bloom
The garden offers three distinct peak seasons throughout the year. February to March features 555 plum trees in full bloom, creating delicate pink and white displays. Mid-April showcases 900 wisteria flowers of 10 varieties blooming in spectacular purple curtains. The most famous season is June, when 77,000 hydrangea bushes transform the 33,000 square meter hillside into a breathtaking sea of blue, purple, pink, and white blooms that has gained international recognition on social media.
Admission fees vary by season and age group. Adults over 18 pay 300 yen during flowering seasons and 100 yen during other periods. All visitors under 18 enter free of charge. Children under 13, visitors with disability certificates, and pets are always admitted free regardless of season. The garden operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with last entry at 5:00 PM.
From Kintetsu Hisai Station, take a bus to Heki Jinjamae bus stop, then walk approximately 15 minutes to reach the garden. The facility is located in Tokicho, Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. For visitors coming from other major attractions, the garden is about 40 minutes from Ise Jingu Shrine by train and taxi, or 45 minutes by car, making it easily accessible as part of a Mie Prefecture itinerary.
Yes, Kazahaya no Sato is particularly welcoming to visitors with disabilities. The facility holds the distinction of being Japan's first horticultural welfare center, where staff work together with people with disabilities to manage the seasonal flowers. Visitors with disability certificates receive free admission year-round. The garden's pathways wind through the former golf course terrain, though visitors should be prepared for some hillside walking.
The garden provides several visitor amenities including parking for 200 cars and 10 large buses. During peak blooming periods, the on-site Kazahaya Chaya tea house offers refreshments where visitors can relax while enjoying views of the seasonal displays. The facility operates flower festivals from early spring to autumn, with rest spots and observation areas positioned throughout the winding pathways for optimal viewing and photography opportunities.
