Maybe I've been spoilt by the many wonderful Japanese gardens I've seen, but I found this one to be a rip-off. It was 500 yen to get in (Kenroku-en is only 300), taking green tea and a sweet was 700 yen (Hama Rikyu in Tokyo only charges 400). The staff were dull and the gardens were poorly maintained. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I wuldn't recommend spending the time walking here, or spending the money to try and enjoy its limited appeal
Fun Alternatives: The garden at the Nomura Family Samurai house is much prettier, the staff friendly and it's easier to get to (no steep hill).
