    Must-visit! A great place to relax, meditate or sketch. There isn't that many people when I visited, so it makes it extra serene. Gorgeous example of Japanese garden. There were lots of Sakura blooming during spring, and I assume It's also gorgeous during fall!

    Holy mackerel this place is not to be missed. You have to see it if you're in Nagoya. So supremely relaxing and beautiful. Try to get into the tea house gardens if you can, and make your way up to the bamboo gardens, the waterfall and mini mountain. Could spend hours here.

    They had a nice English map and guide, children were free, and they gave them a cup of koi food on admission. The gardens are beautiful and a joy to walk through. Take your time to see the otaki (falls) listen to the water harp, walk through the book grove. Bring bug spray, I got dozens of mosquito bites.

    It is a well-maintained traditional Japanese-style garden, with bamboo trees, bamboo fence and bamboo-lighting bases, wood bridge, large stone steps, tea house, and all sorts of trees and flowers which fit for Japanese traditions, such as pine trees and Japanese maples. The Garden has clear road signs for major directions, although visitors have to be cautious for stone steps near or around water, including river stream, because they may have moss and can be slippery. It has vending machines which sell water, soda, coffee, and juice, Visitors who bought one-day Nagoya Subway or Nagoya Subway and Bus Tickets can enjoy 20% discount for Garden Admission Fee.

    Simple yet beautiful Japanese gardens, nearby Atsuta Shrine. Elegant bridges, quaint tea house, calm bodies of water, immaculate trees. Pure peace and zen.

    It's my first time visit Nagoya, and this place was the first thing I visit. I came here in the evening and did not expect anything. But damn, this place is so.... beautiful. You only need 300 yen to get in. Even tho I came in the evening, but the view provided is very sophisticated. They have a good illumination, so don't you worry to come at night. You can enjoy the beauty of autumn in Japan from here. The color gradation of the tree are amazing. Definitely recommended to visit. There is also a mini bamboo forest inside. There is a restaurant as well, and you can taste the real matcha here.

    Beautiful Japanese garden For nature lover and a quiet,peaceful,relaxing place to escape the busiest life here in japan. You would see dove’s,fish,fireflies. I would recommend you to visit here during autumn. Because you will see the “Momoji” when leaves turning into red color.

  • 5/5 Kyoto Dream T. 4 years ago on Google
    A few weeks ago, I had to be in Nagoya City, and I was taking my wife to a radio interview. Because of the COVID-19 restrictions, my wife didn't want to use public transportation. So, I drove her and visited the Shirotori Garden. It was a beautiful spring day with not so many people around. Although it was a little too early for the cherry blossoms, there were plenty of photo opportunities. The garden is a little oasis in the middle of the bustling town of Nagoya. Adapted from the brochure: The Shirotori Garden is a Japanese-style garden with a path running along the banks of streams and ponds. The mound at the southwestern corner of the garden represents Mt.Ontake and the stream originating from the mound, the Kiso River. In the centre of the garden lies the Seiu-tei, a complex of tea ceremony rooms. Seiu-tei was designed after the image of a swan, or "shirotori", flying down to rest its wings. Located in the middle of Shirotori Garden, this is in the authentic Sukiya style, the traditional architecture of the tea ceremony cottage. It stands on the edge of the water. In building it, Sukiya carpenters from Kyoto used nature's materials to the best advantage.

    Another beautiful park/ garden in Nagoya city 🌃 Here only 7 minutes walk from Jingunishi station 🚉 of meijo subway line. Well maintained garden. Japanese tea ceremony halls also here. Though I visit this place in summer, It’s too beautiful in Spring and Autumn 🍂 seasons. Here also you can feed fishes and pigeons ducks also. It’s so enjoyable. Feeding packs are available , just 50¥. good relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy 😉

    Beautiful garden, especially in early spring. We visited on a Saturday and didn’t find the grounds to be crowded at all. Parking was 300¥ and the entrance fee wasn’t bad. Lots of room to run around and explore - the garden is much larger than it looks from the outside. Absolutely worth a visit.

    Walk around 20-30mins from Atsuta Shrine, need to buy a ticket, which is not too big but pretty enough, worth the ticket price. If lucky enough, you can see people with traditional Japanese wedding dresses to take their wedding photos, hereby I would like to congratulate this cute couple 💟 There is a sort of tea house, if you have got time you can try their tea set dessert, which I really love it! Overall, this is a good place to visit.

    Der Garten ist sehr schön und ordentlich. Die Eintrittskarten hatten einen angemessenen Preis. Wir waren mit einem Local Guide in den Garten gekommen, welche uns die Gedanken verschiedener Bauten erklärt hat. Nur zu empfehlen.

    Very nice and scenic garden, with beautiful illuminations. When you have time and like to make some nice photos, it is a must see place. It's also a nice experience, when you go with your partner to enjoy some nice time to calm down from the busy city life.

    Wonderful place to remind the "once upon a time" period. Please prepare your old style fashion when you come here ^^

    It looks like a government-owned site, and was it a samurai residence before that?
