Kitagawa Village Monet's Garden Marmottan

This botanical garden consists of three distinct sections: the water garden with waterlilies, the flower garden with seasonal plants, and the Mediterranean garden of Bordighera.

The garden opened on April 19, 2000, after receiving official permission from the Claude Monet Foundation to replicate the original Giverny garden design.

The garden merges French impressionist art principles with Japanese garden design, featuring traditional elements like taiko bridges and seasonal flower arrangements.

Visitors can access the garden daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 1,000 yen and children between 6-14 years at 500 yen.

Blue water lilies bloom from July through October in the pond garden, creating exact replicas of scenes from Monet's famous water lily paintings.
