Real experiences from real travelers
This place was the highlight of our trip to Kawaguchiko. The gardens are stunning, especially with the roses in bloom, and the mechanical organ performance was mind-blowing. It truly feels like a little slice of Europe in Japan.
Great place for photos. The view of Mt. Fuji from the garden is iconic. The sand art performance was very unique. Can get crowded on weekends, so go early.
We visited for our anniversary and it was perfect. We rented the princess dresses for photos and had so much fun. The music is enchanting.
I'm not usually into museums, but the mechanical instruments here are fascinating engineering feats. The Titanic model is a must-see. Good coffee in the cafe too.
If you love flowers, come in June! The rose garden smells amazing and the variety is incredible. The combination of flowers, music, and Fuji-san is unbeatable.
As a German, I was skeptical about a 'European village' in Japan, but they did a great job. The organs are authentic and well-maintained. A pleasant afternoon.
Felt like stepping into a Disney movie. The staff is very polite and the whole place is spotless. Highly recommend for families.
It's a lovely park, but the entry fee is a bit high if you aren't interested in the music boxes. The view is free from outside, but the inside atmosphere is unique.
