Besides a replica of the Monet House and the garden from the painting 'Water lillies' there are several other areas in this garden. There is a tree from the Jurassic period and many varieties of unique citrus and other fruits and several examples of architecture from other countries. The view of lake hamanako from the viewing platform is incredible.

A Zen Buddhist temple opened 700years ago. The garden by a Japanese landscaper known as Kobori Enshu of Heisei and the 1,000 years old Buddhist statue are amazing. “The World’s Biggest Hannya Sutra" of Shoko Kanazawa, a genius calligrapher with Down syndrome, was displayed here. With the size 4m x 16m, you can feel the kindness of Shoko. There are other highlights such as hell & heaven map.

500 yen per person, stunning gardens with great walks, restaurant was very good, had a great 3/4 hours here, easily accessible by no 30 bus from hamamatsu station, drops you right outside. Just a little further on is Lake Hamana, well worth another 3 stops to have a look round.
