Hotel New Otani Japanese Garden

The garden is part of the Hotel New Otani complex and is open to both hotel guests and day visitors. Entry is generally free, although access may be limited during private events. The garden is medium-sized and easy to explore on foot, with paved paths suitable for all ages. On-site cafés and restaurants within the hotel allow visitors to combine the garden visit with dining. English signage is limited but not necessary, as the layout is simple and intuitive.

This garden is best enjoyed at a slow pace, so allow enough time to sit, walk, and take photos. It is a quiet space, so visitors are expected to keep noise to a minimum. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as some paths include stone walkways. Photography is allowed, but drones and tripods are not permitted. Seasonal highlights include cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, colorful leaves in autumn, and illuminated winter displays in the evening.

Hotel New Otani Japanese Garden is located in the Akasaka area of Tokyo. The nearest stations are Akasaka-Mitsuke, Nagatacho, and Yotsuya, all within a 10-minute walk. These stations are served by multiple subway lines, making the garden easily accessible from major areas such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Tokyo Station. Taxis are also convenient, especially if you prefer a direct route.
