Bonitos jardines pero muy caros (1000¥) para lo que hay que ver. Por 800-1000¥ adicionales te sirven té macha en una habitación tradicional con vistas a los jardines. Justo al lado hay unos jardines menos bonitos y mas pequeños pero gratis para los extranjeros.
Precioso jardín. No había mucha gente cuando fuimos y pudimos disfrutar de un momento tranquilo rodeados de naturaleza.
Lindo jardín pero muy costosa la entrada para lo poco que hay para ver, es pequeño comparado a otros jardines y no es tan bello, personalmente no me encanto.
