Okochi Sanso Garden, Japanese garden in Arashiyama district, Kyoto, Japan
The garden spans 20,000 square meters on Mount Ogura's southern slope, featuring stone lanterns, bamboo groves, and several traditional buildings along winding paths.
Actor Denjiro Okochi spent three decades developing this garden from 1928 until his death in 1962, transforming it from a basic Buddhist shrine.
The property includes multiple tea houses built in traditional architectural styles, where visitors receive matcha tea and Japanese sweets during their visit.
Entry costs 1000 yen for adults and 500 yen for students, with the garden remaining open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The garden contains the Daijo-kaku building, which combines two distinct Japanese architectural styles: shinden-zukuri and shoin-zukuri in one structure.
