The rest area in the central part of the Japanese Garden facing Shinji-ike Pond. In the facility, there is a shop selling “Wa (Japanese)” taste items and a café “Nagomi” serving special curry, udon, soba, soft-serve ice cream and so on.
While in the building, don’t forget to take a look at Shinji-ike Pond from inside. Pretend like polls in the building were a photo frame and look at the pond from a distance. Then, you can enjoy a splendid view as if it was a painting.

“Hanan” and “Banrian” are authentic tea rooms in the Japanese Garden designed and built by a living national treasure. The rooms are usually not open to public, but only during the Fall Foliage Festival, they open their doors. Hanan was designed to look like a samurai house in the style called Shoin-zukuri, and Banrian follows an image of a small thatched house made from straw.

There is so much to see in the Japanese Garden. If you get tired after walking around, why not charge your energy by eating whole Japanese meal? “Hasuan” is a Japanese restaurant where you can dine in a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. You will be able to fully enjoy the luxurious space with water, Nishiki-goi (carp) and historical trees right in front of your eyes.

During the event, you can visit Hanan and Banrian open only during this festival. Also enjoy traditional entertainment performance (Rakugo (traditional comic story telling) and Japanese instruments (under planning)) on weekends and National holidays.
