Went for the first time recently after living here for 18 years! I put my full botanist knowledge on display here and had an exciting time 💮
The gardens were stunning and I enjoyed a tasty Taiyaki snack from the shop after taking in the views. Will definitely need to return in the spring when the sakura bloom since my boyfriend loves cherry blossoms 🌸
The best part was finding my favorite flower at the gift shop! They had it as both a bookmark (only one left) and a tapestry...
Disappointed with the new changes. I understand the desire to serve more customers and make more money, but I really appreciated the peaceful experience of the tea pouring with stoneware sets, hot towels, etc. Not the paper cup fast food vibe.
I wonder if it’s possible have both in the future - a way to provide tea offerings to more visitors while also having a space for the full tea experience. Until then, I’ll probably skip the cafe

We're disappointed with the recent changes here. While we appreciate the ability to serve more visitors by switching from wait staff to ordering at the counter, also replacing ceramic ware with paper products doesn't feel consistent with the whole Japanese garden experience. It's still a lovely space, of course, with good products -- it just lacks the feeling of quality now for the price point.
