PERSONAL THOUGHTS
★★☆☆☆
Signs everywhere telling you the names of the trees and little bits of trivia. Unfortunately, it's all in Japanese. So a lot of information is lost on you. But if you're looking for a nice walk through a great piece of nature, you're at the right place. Maybe early autumn wasn't the best season to visit. Everything was just really green. Other seasons may be more appealing. All in all not a bad place to go (great place to see a lot of different trees and plants), but if I had to make I choice, I would rather go to one of the Metropolitan gardens.
