고라쿠엔 정원

고라쿠엔 정원
Tradition and innovation mingle in a remarkable riverside landscaped space, founded in the 17th century and considered one of Japan’s best gardens.

Visiting Okayama without touring the Korakuen Garden means you’d miss out on a whole dimension of Okayama’s art and history. Created in 1687 by Ikeda Tsunamasa, who was looking to create a place of rest near his palace, the garden offers a retreat from the bustle of the city for commoners as well. Go on a quick stroll to see its various vistas or spend the whole day exploring all the surprises, from teahouses to plum groves. You’ll soon understand why it is consistently ranked as one of Japan’s top three gardens.

Get a sense of the place from the spacious lawns next to the Enyo-tei house, a design feature that makes it unique compared to the more standard garden layout. Imagine yourself as Okayama’s harried feudal lord retreating to the Ryuten Rest House, set over a small stream that creates a pleasant gurgle in the space. Climb to the top of the Yuishinzan Hill to see the elegant roofs of Okayama Castle peeking over the treetops.

Appreciate the artistic sensibilities of the landscape designers, who created the garden in the Kaiyu, or “scenic promenade” style, designed to make every twist and turn of the path provide a new breathtaking vista.

Wander through the Japanese iris garden. Depending on the season, see the garden blaze in shades of pink or red on the hillside that is planted with adjacent cherry, plum and maple groves.

Korakuen Garden is in the heart of Okayama, across the Asahi River from Okayama Castle. Walk from Okayama Station in about 25 minutes or take a tram in 5 minutes to the stop about a 10-minute walk from the park’s southern entrance. Parking can be difficult to find, especially during peak tourist season, though there is an on-site lot.

The garden is open daily from early morning to dusk, with slightly longer hours from March to September. In summer and fall, the garden has occasional late-night events decorated by candles.

There is an admission fee, which can be combined with admission for other attractions. English guides are available.
