Hi, I’m Tabi!
Explore Hirakawa through a garden and a park around ponds. Check the separate access rules for the private garden and public park, even though both are in the Saruka area.
This guide covers places within Hirakawa, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Enjoy the garden and the exterior of its Japanese-Western style building. Official guidance lists repairs and scaffolding at Seibikan from September 10 to November 20, 2026. The photograph is from 2012; follow current admission, photography and construction-area rules.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Walk around ponds with changing seasonal scenery. The photograph shows Kagamigaike on October 18, 2026, rather than guaranteed conditions on your visit. Do not use fire, and follow guidance around the water and shrine areas.

The nearby Motenashi Roman-kan introduces dishes such as vegetable curry using local produce. Menus and opening days can change; check ahead and ask the restaurant about ingredients and allergens.
