Free to enter for all tourists, no passport checks. Extremely beautiful traditional garden that is as beautiful as the 1200 yen paid garden (Isuien Garden) next door. Serving as a great alternative budget option to explore a Japanese garden.
The garden took us about 40 mins to stroll through with lots of photo stops. It's honestly a must visit during the autumn.
This is actually a really serene experience. We actually came in through a back way and walked through the garden. Very peaceful. My three kids were able to make it. We only spent about 20 minutes here, but if you can beat the crowds, it’s worth it cause it is also free.
What a hidden gem as we almost walked past this garden on our way to lunch after visiting Todai-ji Temple. The admission is free and the garden was very serene where we only saw 5 people at most. You can wonder around the garden on your own but the indoor areas were not restricted. Plan to relax here and reset after a very busy visit to Nara Park.
Beautiful, Nice and Zen. Admission was free. There was a doorway to the Buddha Temple but we weren’t sure where it was leading us to so we just walked out the way we came in from and walked to the Buddha temple which was about a 3 - 5 min walk.
The Yoshikien Garden is very calming and Beautiful and hearing all the birds was amazing.
Yoshikien Garden is exquisitely crafted, seamlessly integrating three distinct styles of traditional Japanese landscaping: the pond garden, the moss garden, and the tea ceremony garden. These three elements serve as the central focal points, harmoniously converging to create a serene and peaceful ambiance.
I visited there for the first time many years ago. Since then, every time I visit Nara, I often arrange my time to visit there again.
Admission to the garden is complimentary. 👍💕
