Yoshiki-en is a hidden gem next to its more famous neighbor Isuien. It features three distinct garden styles: a pond garden, a moss garden, and a tea ceremony garden. Uniquely, it is completely free for foreigners upon showing a passport. It offers a peaceful atmosphere away from Nara's usual crowds, with especially stunning views during autumn foliage season.
Free for foreigners with passport. Japanese nationals ¥250. Closed Feb 24-28
November for spectacular autumn colors in the moss garden. Morning light creates beautiful shadows. Less crowded than Isuien year-round.
