If you have an hour or two, it is a nice time to spend it here. You get to drink some green tea, walk around the scienc gareden and enjoy the moment.

Okochi Sanso is a simply magnificent garden, perhaps one of the most picturesque in Japan. There is a small admission charge but it is more than worth the money. Whether or not you are interested...

This garden was incredibly beautiful! It was so peaceful and quiet as well. It is beautifully maintained and had a tea house on the premises. A ticket for a free green tea and small sweet were included in the ticket price of the garden. We were there a little bit early to experience the full Fall colors, but the greenery was breathtaking. This place is a must to visit if you're in Kyoto.

One of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen. It has lots of viewpoints to Kyoto and to the mountains. A must visit! Definitely visit Myokoan inside of the garden, too. It’s a magical meditative place.
