Vast garden with gentle slopes and awesome views
Prepare to walk uphill, downhill, through rocks, wood, and uneven ground. I mention this for parents with strollers or elderly people who have trouble walking. Nevertheless, there are plenty of spaces to stop, sit, relax, and admire the view of this beautiful garden. There are various entrance on either sides of the garden. There is also a teahouse and souvenir shop so you can catch your breath and drink some tea or peruse the knickknacks. Admission is 320 for adults, 100 for 6-17 year olds, and free for babies or people 65 years old and above. Prepare to spend at least two hours walking around and taking pictures.

Autumn garden visit
Early morning walking recommended since light is best during those hours. Later in the day, from 7am onwards, a fee is charged. Free guide tours are offered, though not much in English. Gardens are spacious and always quiet!
