Koko-en Garden

You can see 9 gardens, large and small, with their own separate charms right next to Himeji Castle. It includes a bamboo garden, a garden with wild flowers and grasses gathered during the Edo Era, and a garden with a stream. One of the popular spots is the wonderful view from the passageway leading to the garden of the Oyashiki, the largest garden in Koko-en. There is a restaurant and a teahouse so this garden is also a great place to take a break.
