Suizenji Jojuen Garden

水前寺成趣園

Kumamoto · Kyushu

Suizenji Jojuen is a Kumamoto stroll garden laid out to reproduce famous landmarks of the old Tokaido road in miniature, including a grassed cone standing in for Mount Fuji beside its spring-fed pond. Admission is ¥500 for adults, raised from ¥400 in April 2026, and it opens 8:30 AM–5:00 PM. Allow about 45 minutes.

Why we picked it

Many mainstream travelers focus on Kumamoto Castle and miss this tranquil oasis nearby.
