Oyakuen was a villa frequently visited by successive feudal lords of Aizu. With its thatched-roof traditional Japanese buildings and gardens, it offers a 100% immersive Japanese experience. At Oyakuen, you can experience Aizu tea ceremony culture while wearing an Aizu Momen kimono. Reserving the Goten Palace and receiving guidance from a professional tea ceremony instructor is a truly rare opportunity. While the price of around JPY 40,000 might seem extravagant, the package includes taxi transfers to and from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station, making it quite reasonable. The package also includes a traditional Aizu "Maru Bento" boxed lunch – a truly photogenic and unforgettable experience.

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 Just spent a serene afternoon at Oyakuen in Aizu-Wakamatsu, and it was simply magical! The entrance fee was very reasonable, only 300 yen, and it felt like stepping into a hidden oasis of tranquility. Walking through the meticulously landscaped gardens, I was mesmerized by the vibrant colors of the cherry blossoms, azaleas, and other seasonal flowers. The traditional tea houses and wooden bridges added to the charm, offering perfect spots to relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Nearby, you can also explore the historic Aizu Bukeyashiki and the majestic Tsuruga Castle. Definitely a must-visit for nature lovers and anyone seeking a moment of zen! 🍃🌸 #Oyakuen #AizuWakamatsu #JapaneseGardens #SpringBlooms #Tranquility #NatureLovers

This garden can be reached by bus called Haikara-san from Aizuwakamatsu Station. Inside is a large, beautifully maintained Japanese garden where you can stroll and enjoy the flowers of the four seasons. Cherry blossoms bloom in spring. There are also ducks and carp in the pond. There is also a teahouse, so it is recommended to enjoy tea there. #Sakura2024 #Fukushima #Aizuwakamatsu #Oyakuen
