A Garden to Bask in Seasonal Beauty

Located next to Himeji Castle and opened in 1992, Kokoen is a Japanese style garden with a path that wraps around the central pond and spring. The garden is about eight acres large and consists of nine different styles of gardens – which highlights the contrast of the old samurai sectors.
