What other travelers are saying about Sankeien Garden
Amazing garden even in winter! We took the bus using Google Maps and walked for about 10-15 minutes through small roads in a housing estate (nice to see that none of the houses are alike and houses are well-maintained in Japan). There's a small fee for entry and the better half mentioned we'll be here for at least a couple of hours, which is great if you love walking in a peaceful garden. The garden surrounds a large lake and contains historic structures from other parts of Japan. Sometimes you feel like you're on the set of Shogun when exploring one of the old timber houses. The main hall also houses several beautiful pieces of art. We were fortunate to also see a bonsai exhibition at the time of our visit.
For me this is the main highlight of my Yokohama trip. Beautiful garden with stunning views. Layout was well thought out to create this masterpiece. Spent the whole morning strolling, enjoying the scenery, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Highly recommended if you have enough time to spare in Yokohama.
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!
One of my favorite parks for events or just to relax. On a hot summer day, there is always a refreshing cool upon entry. Surprisingly, it's rarely ever crowded and people seem to be keen on slowing down for a while.
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.
