Japanese Garden

The Japanese Garden in Suita is a strolling garden that extends through multiple sections with curved paths, stone bridges, and water features. Carefully arranged plants and flowers that change with the seasons are distributed throughout the landscaped areas.

The garden was built on the grounds of the 1970 World Exposition held in Osaka Prefecture. This connection to that historical event continues to shape the character and significance of the site.

The garden shows design elements from different periods of Japanese tradition that visitors can observe while walking through. Each section reflects how gardening practices changed and evolved across centuries of Japanese culture.

The garden is open most days but closes on specific days of the week. It helps to check opening times before visiting, especially if planning a weekday visit.

The garden features a network of stone lanterns strategically positioned throughout to shape the pathways. These lanterns combined with the maintained koi ponds create a distinctive character that shifts with the time of day and season.
