What other travelers are saying about Sankeien Garden
Went to Sankeien to hopefully see the autumn colors and see the historical buildings. I'm happy I went. Near the entrance, I noticed someone taking pictures of the old lotus pond. Do you see it? It's right there. It's worth a visit.
Absolutely amazing park filled with historical and culturally significant buildings. We arrived in the morning on a beautiful sunny day and stayed until the afternoon. The snack stand and restaurant both served delicious food! We were very satisfied!
This is one of beautiful garden in yokohama. Take a walk in the park enjoying the beautiful scenery and learning about Japanese history.
Very good for family or couples trip 😊
One of my two favorite gardens in Japan (the other one being Kenroku-en in Kanazawa). I did a day trip to Yokohama from Tokyo and almost skipped this place because I had had a full day and to be honest, this garden is kind of out of the way - about an hour bus ride from the main Yokohama attractions. Google maps walking directions from the bus stop were accurate, but I did feel like I was getting lost because I was walking through a residential neighborhood and there were no signs. However, when I found it, I was so grateful. It was blissful. I arrived about an hour and a half before they closed, and I had the place mostly to myself. There were an elderly couple in matching attire as well as a beautiful young couple who I assume were getting engagement photos done, but other than that, I was practically alone. There are so many nooks and crannies to this park, so many gorgeous serene details that are indicative of a well-made Japanese garden, and I couldn't overcome the strong sense of gratitude the space inspired in me. I would happily spend an afternoon here again.
Incredible scenery and stunning architecture. The garden is wonderful to explore. I went on a particularly hot and humid day, but the big pond created a cool breeze and there's plenty of shade all around the garden.
