[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Chengcheng Garden (Updated May)

#Shuchengen, another unpopular attraction in downtown Kyoto, is a pond-filled garden that once belonged to the villa of #Higashihonganji. It is very close to Higashihonganji and can be visited together. The entrance fee is ¥500. The most interesting thing is to be able to capture the reflection of #京都塔 standing on the lake surface of the small bridge, and the surrounding green land and trees are also captured in the frame, which is instantly beautiful. #Shuchengen is a picturesque temple garden dating back to the mid-1600s. It has a teahouse, a large pond and cherry trees. It is also called #Zhi Ke Di because of the sour oranges (limes, like yellow limes, can be used as Chinese medicine) planted around it. There are thirteen famous scenic spots in the park, which are named after the precious calligraphy left by many literati and poets. The pond here is lush and green, giving you a sense of walking into the famous painting #Monet’sGarden. There are few tourists in the park, so you can take a leisurely stroll. The park also has a special wall made of irregular stones of different sizes, some square and some round. Higashi Honganji staff will give a special introduction when they take people on a visit.

A hidden spot for viewing autumn leaves, just a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station! I went there just during the peak viewing season, and there were few people, so it was easy to see✨ Shosei-en is the garden of Higashi Honganji Temple, affectionately known to Kyoto residents as "Otosu-san". As it is an exclave garden, it is a little far from Higashi Honganji Temple😌 You can enjoy the seasonal atmosphere with plum and cherry blossoms in spring, irises and water lilies in summer, and autumn leaves in autumn🍁 Access: Shimo-Juzuya-cho Tori-Amano-cho Higashi-iru Higashi Tamamizu-cho, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City ・10-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station ・7-minute walk from Gojo Station on the subway ・5-minute walk from Karasuma Shichijo City bus #Kyoto #Autumn leaves

Shosei-en, a villa of Higashi Hongan-ji Temple, a famous tourist spot in Kyoto. It is said to have been the residence of Minamoto no Toru, who was the model for Hikaru Genji. The garden spreads across a vast area, and there are ponds, bridges, and teahouses. You'll do a lot of walking, surprisingly🚶‍♀️ When you enter the garden, you can get a pamphlet for about 500 yen, so you can learn about the history by looking at it. Kyoto Tower is nearby, so it's a double bargain✌🏻✨ When the weather is good, you might be able to see Kyoto Tower upside down! ? I went during the day, but it seems that it is sometimes lit up at night. #Tourist Spot #Kyoto

#cherryblossom25 I stumbled upon Shosei-en Garden almost by accident—tucked behind the towering walls of Higashi Hongan-ji, this hidden gem felt like stepping into a watercolor painting come to life. 🌿✨ Sensory Overload (In the Best Way): The moment I walked in, pink sakura petals fluttered down like confetti, landing softly on the pond’s mirror-like surface. The air smelled like fresh grass and faint floral sweetness, mixed with the earthy scent of moss-covered stones. A wooden bridge arched over the water, leading to a cozy teahouse where I swear I could almost hear whispers from the Edo period. The Unexpected Moment: I tried to take a perfect Instagram shot of a lone cherry tree by the pond… until a cheeky koi fishsplashed me. 😂 (Note: Kyoto’s fish have attitude.) Hidden Gem Spot: Most people rush to the main pond, but the small bamboo grove near the back is pure magic—sunlight filters through like golden threads, and it’s way quieter. 🎋 Food Detour: Afterwards, I grabbed a matcha soft serve from a stall nearby—creamy, bittersweet, and ridiculouslyphotogenic. Pro tip: Eat it fast before it melts into a green puddle! 🍦 Quick Itinerary (Sakura Edition ⏳): 3:00 PM: Arrive, gasp at the blossoms, take 100+ photos. 3:30 PM: Chill by the pond, watch koi drama unfold. 4:00 PM: Find the bamboo grove, pretend you’re in a Miyazaki film. 4:30 PM: Matcha break + explore Higashi Hongan-ji next door. Why Go? Less crowded than other cherry blossom spots, but just as dreamy. Perfect for a slow afternoon soak in Kyoto’s beauty. 💖 Would you chase sakura here? 👇 #KyotoSecrets #SakuraVibes

The garden day is a matter of interest. The beauty of the gardens in the Heian period Wucheng Garden is a veritable small-scale cherry blossom name in Kyoto. It is suitable for the day of the kimono dress. The Chengcheng Garden is located in the Dongbenyuan Temple near Kyoto Station, and is named after Tao Yuanmings phrase The Garden Day is Interested. Legend is the source of the source of the source of the source of the source of the Emperor of the Emperor. The gardens are all seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in autumn. Such a vast and quiet garden in the center of the city is a good place to experience the "clouds are unintentional, and the birds are tired and fly." The first thing I saw after entering the park was the "Lin Chi Ting" Academy, the wooden structure, the water, and the Tang and Song Dynasties. One of the inward is also the name of the school "Die Cuixuan". In the quaint gardens, everything seems to be quiet - even if the visitors are not able to break the silence. Countless people have come and returned in this ancient courtyard, but only this house, this flower still stays here, deeply sedimenting the years and culture, and the sun is jumping between this cherry and tile. It seems to be telling a story about time. After the road, see the name of the wooden arch bridge "invading the snow bridge", the bridge side scenery is very beautiful. Yucheng Garden belongs to the Chiquan Huiyou Garden, which was renovated in the Edo period. It was built in the same way as the villa of the Emperor Yuanrong. It was built with flowers and trees, and the design of the pavilions and pavilions was used to appreciate the beauty of the gardens in the Heian period. . Crossing the bridge is the Five Song Dau Island. One step at a time, pavilions, water trees and flowers represent the aesthetics of the time. Compared with temples and shrines, such landscape gardens are more in line with Chinese travel habits. There are very few people in the park, and it is very easy to take a clean and unmanned picture in a quiet place where a small holiday is rare. For Chinese tourists, there is almost no fame here, but what about the famous garden? To the west of Wusong Dock, it can be seen that a bridge is lying on the clear water. This is a returning gallery, and its shape is similar to that of our country. Standing on the bridge, not far away is the Yingyue Pool of the waves and clouds, and the Kyoto Tower in the distance is clearly distinguishable. The Japanese courtyard has something in common with the construction concept of the Chinese courtyard. It does not leave the downtown fireworks, but has its own world.

It is a 10-minute walk from Kyoto Station in Shimogyo-ku, and it is charged as a garden maintenance fund for 500 yen. This place is the third generation of Tokugawa's general Tokugawa Ieka donated to the 13th generation of the Pure Land of the Emperor of the Pure Land, and the above-mentioned person is said to be the house of seclusion. The same as the private garden of the garden, it is much more beautiful than the Suzhou park. In the summer, the cherry blossoms and autumn maples are very few, no matter local tourists or foreign tourists, you can enjoy it quietly in the maple season.

Going into the garden was originally a trip outside the plan, because the wrong car was all the way to go back to the hotel and unintentionally found the garden. I havent done my homework beforehand, and Im not very famous. Later, after checking the information, I realized that the Garden is a returning garden. Because it is surrounded by clams (), it is also called , which is a national designated scenic spot. The entire garden covers a large area. In addition to the grand courtyard lighting reflection is a point of view, the Wuyesong courtyard lighting is also very beautiful, few people, you can quietly enjoy the scenery. If you feel a little cold, there is a tea house opposite the courtyard to provide a red bean cake soup tea set. Address: Shibuya-cho, Shimo-machi, Shimo-machi, Shimo-machi, Shimogyo-ku
