- Regional draw
- Saratoga
Hakone Gardens brings Japanese garden design, historic estate buildings and cultural exhibits together on a hillside in Saratoga.
The pond garden and planted paths provide a setting for exploring the relationship between architecture, water and landscape.
Check admission, last-entry times and special-event closures before visiting. Historic gravel paths and stone steps can be uneven, and some areas have limited accessibility. The photograph shows a bridge and garden scene from an earlier visit rather than current seasonal planting. Stay on designated paths, keep food in permitted areas and arrange portrait or commercial photography separately.
