Question 1

What if I can't find parking and have to give up on entering the garden?

Parking is extremely limited, especially on weekends! If the lot is full and you’re unable to find parking, you’ll need to visit on another day during the cherry blossom season.

Question 2

Child - under 4 need to pay to enter the garden?

Accepted Answer

Admission for Children: Children under 4 years old is FREE

Question 3

What if there are no cherry blossoms when I visit the garden?

Accepted Answer

Cherry blossoms follow nature’s schedule, and bloom times vary each year. We cannot guarantee that flowers will be in bloom on the day of your visit. While the cherry blossoms are a highlight, the garden offers a beautiful experience throughout the season. We appreciate your understanding.

Question 4

Are you open when it rains?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are open rain or shine!

Question 5

If I get there before 5 PM, can I still enter the garden with the online ticket I purchased?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, you cannot enter the garden after 4:30 PM. All visitors need to leave by 5 PM since the garden closes at that time. On weekends, if it gets too busy, we may need to stop the last admission as early as 4:00 PM instead of 4:30 PM. We appreciate your understanding.
