Genkyuen Garden

About

Genkyuen Garden reflects the elegance of the Edo period, packed with four charming islands and connected by picturesque bridges adorning the pond’s surface. The garden offers delightful tea ceremonies in traditional wooden structures located next to the pond, allowing tourists to savor the tranquil atmosphere and a cup of tea for 500 yen. Genkyuen Garden is especially celebrated for its seasonal attractions, such as the enchanting "Moon-viewing Evening" in September, where visitors can witness the moonrise over Hikone Castle. Additionally, "Genkyuen Garden (Lightup)" in November features the garden illuminated amidst the vibrant autumn foliage. Its captivating views and rich historical significance make Genkyuen Garden a must-visit destination for those exploring the cultural heritage of Hikone City.
