What visitors say

During peony season, visitors can enjoy the peonies blooming in the garden and the views from the elevated grounds. The precincts, which feature stone paving and railings, also include peony sculptures, allowing for a leisurely stroll in a quiet atmosphere. Facilities such as a parking lot and restrooms are available, but comfortable walking shoes are recommended due to the sloping terrain.
