Sorakuen Garden

Sorakuen Garden is a delightful oasis in the heart of Kobe, Japan. Located close to the old foreign settlement and bounded by busy city streets and a railway line, this is a tranquil spot filled with lovely flowers and trees. With its pond, walking paths, statues, and a traditional teahouse, it's a perfect setting to relax and unwind. Also known as the Plum Garden, you can observe over 200 different varieties of plums during blossom season from February to April. Spring brings a beautiful display of cherry blossoms, and in summer the park looks especially green and lush. The wooden Red-Lacquered Bridges and Stream bring an oriental feel and make for great photo opportunities. Autumn brings an abundance of oranges and reds, perfectly capturing the season of transformation. Enjoy a peaceful stroll or a peaceful break with a snack at the teahouse. Sorakuen is the perfect place to escape from modern life and immerse yourself in Japanese culture.
