This is a beautiful garden. We went for Yukata day. If you wear a Yukata on June 13th or 14th 2026, you get in free and get a free photo printed of you. It is only 300 yen on a normal day. Which is totally worth it. We also took the bonseki class, It was fun. We made little mountain pictures out of sand. We also saw the beautiful hydrangeas and bamboo. We will be going back again to see it in the fall.
What a beautiful garden that was not crowded. Worth the 30 minute commute from Nagoya station! Highly recommend. They have so many rockery paths that look very natural, a substantial waterfall with sitting rest areas, small but tasteful bamboo garden, and lots of sitting spots with different views of the large pond
If you have a big over night pack the front ticketing table could hold it for you in the back. They were so kind when we asked!
Very beautiful Japanese garden and a peaceful place to escape the busy city of Nagoya.
The garden is well maintained with ponds, small bridges, traditional landscaping, and walking paths that make it very pleasant to explore. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, making it a great place for a quiet walk. There is also a traditional tea house where you can enjoy matcha and Japanese sweets while looking over the garden.
The garden is open from 9:00 to 17:00 (last entry around 16:30) and is closed on Mondays, or the following day if Monday is a public holiday.
Enjoy 😎🙏🧘♀️🧘
The garden is small and cozy. However, there are a lot of couples who are making their photoshoots, which is really disturbing. I couldn’t spend my time peacefully to actually enjoy the garden in harmony! They seemed annoyed when I was passing by. It’s like we’re not in the garden, but in the photo booth. I think the administration should restrict the professional photoshoots.
The entry fee is ¥300. There are a lot of mosquitoes.
It took us about 20 minutes to go from Atsuta-jingu to Shirotori Garden. The entrance fee was not expensive at all, and there was a lot to explore in the garden. The lake and waterfall were mesmerizing to watch — I felt like I could spend hours here just staring at the fish. The bamboos were also magnificent. Overall, it was a sublime view for those seeking serenity after a long day.
