Tips
It is a beautiful garden, beautifully maintained. In fact there are three different gardens inside, such as a Japanese style garden with a pond and a hill overlooking it, and a quiet moss garden as well as a garden at the back. We took the morning train from Kinteysu Railway Nara Station and got off at the second stop, walking a short distance to the place for about 5 minutes before the gates opened (9:00 am). There is no entrance fee for foreigners to visit this place.
The first stop is Yoshikien Garden. Last year, I came here by mistake to look for the monument of Yoshikien, and was told by the aunt at the entrance that autumn is the most beautiful season, so I dragged Sia and her husband Ben here again. Sure enough, the Yoshikien Garden does not appear in its true form until autumn! The red leaves, yellow leaves, green bricks, green moss, and the gurgling water are a perfect match.
Foreigners can visit Yoshikien Garden for free by showing their passports and filling out a form. When I left, I went to see the aunt at the entrance again, the same one from last year, and praised her sincerely.
Yoshikien Garden is free for foreign visitors, and you can enter by filling out a questionnaire. After confirming our nationality, we were given a brief description of the garden in Chinese.
The garden is very, very quiet, with only two or three visitors. The garden is full of greenery.
