Suizenji Garden is a spacious Japanese garden sitting in the heart of Kumamoto city, Kumamoto prefecture. Drawn from Mt. Aso's groundwater, this traditional Japanese landscape garden features wide open areas punctuated by calm pools. With an area of roughly 73,000 square meters, there is plenty to explore. Best experienced by way of a circular path orbiting the center of the garden, you will have plenty of time to take in the rich Japanese culture which permeates the garden. Enjoy observing the koi fish swimming as you stand on an ancient stone bridge, take in the old Japanese architecture, or just contemplate the serenity of the landscape garden. Suizenji Garden is a perfect place for those looking to calm themselves.
