Tips
- The Secret Garden can only be visited on a guided tour, so book your tour slot early — it often sells out on weekends.
- The garden is at its best in autumn (late October to mid-November) and in spring cherry blossom season.
- Visit on a weekday morning for the quietest experience.
- Bring comfortable shoes: the garden tour involves a fair amount of walking on uneven paths.
