Yuushien

Tulips were at peak bloom. Peony house was amazing. Lunch was good. Crowded with cruise ship visitors but crowds weee well behaved.

I have been to the 3 most famous gardens in mito, Okayama, and Kanazawa but enjoyed this garden more. Peaceful with less people. Took #70 bus from matsue bus plaza stop 6. 700 yen one way but can buy a two day pass from the driver when you get off for 1050 yen. Can get bus schedule from tourist info booth next to bus plaza. Had a very nice lunch in the restaurant right next to entrance. The restaurants marked on the map look to be all for groups. This is next to tea house. Beautiful view of garden through floor to ceiling windows. Food was soba about 1200 yen to tempura and unagi for 2300 yen. English menu with photos available. Peaceful stroll through the gardens and surprise at the end of Sakura trees in full bloom around the parking lot across the street!

Such a beautiful garden! They change it up from season to season so there's always something beautiful to see.

We went during the rainy season (beginning of July) with barely any tourists - I think we saw 6 in total. It was the best decision we made during our stay in Matsue. It's a magical place where one can appreciate all the work the gardeners and staff put into every single detail so that this garden becomes the most beautiful bonsai/Japanese garden we've ever seen.

A beautiful tranquil garden centre. Plants are carefully arranged and displayed

This garden is so beautiful, especially when flowers are spreaded all over the lake (not always). I appreciated the staffs who are working here because of their hard-working and elaborateness. The ticket is 1400yen in peak season but it totally worth this price

This is one of the beautiful Japanese Garden I visited here in Japan. I just drove 10 hours from Yokohama to get here. The view of the peonies scattered in the ground or in the pond was not only stunning but amazing.

If you are a foreigner, make sure to bring your passport or residence card to get a bid discount.

It was just a short walk from the bus stop. I stopped by the grocery near the bus stop to pick up a snack to have in the garden which was very convenient.
A shame I was too early for the peony event but there were still lots of gorgeous peonies to see! The lake area was absolutely beautiful and although there is a labeled path, there are so many little paths to explore and it was just so peaceful and nice.
I also got a free ginseng tea voucher and it tasted pretty bitter but I hope I reaped some health benefits. They were also selling ginseng soft serve at the cafe.
There are different prices for whether the park is peak season or not. Since the peony event hadn’t started yet I guess I got the mid tier rate.
I really enjoyed my time and although the infrequent bus times (once an hour or so) had me waiting, I’m so glad I went.

I visited here yesterday. The entrance was ¥1000 for adults. Peonies were stunning and it was my first time seeing this kind of flower display. You can also enjoy seeing autumn foliage from this week and illumination starting next week.

A really beautiful garden with some local competition sculptures displayed in various locations. The area near the entrance into the garden looks the best! They also have a tulip garden which also looks amazing around April.

Wow! The illuminations here are amazing!
I really wanted to get to the garden before it got dark, but it just didn’t work out so... I guess I’ll have to go back! 😊
Going just for the illuminations was totally worth it.
It was crowded, but not crazy crowded. We were still able to walk around comfortably and really look at everything we wanted to.
The entrance fee was ¥1,000 per adult.
They have a pretty large parking lot and parking was free. To get to the parking lot, follow the pin for the “Yuushien Flower Park garden center”.
This pin actually takes you to the backside of the garden... on a tiny road.

Beautiful garden. Especially recommended for spring and autumn, but even outside of those prime times, the garden is beautiful and worth a visit.

Went there earlier this year. The garden was beautiful! The pond filled with peonies, and there was an indoor peony garden that is gorgeous too.

Beautiful garden with a great scenery. The garden has a veriarity of different flowers and trees. It also has lakes with bridges that provide the perfect picture opportunity. Additionally, this location also includes an inside restaurant and coffee shop with a great view of the garden.

So far the most beautiful garden we have seen in Japan. A must see!
We visited in Mid-March on a cold cloudy day - and it did not deminish the serenity and immresive beauty of the landscape and exhibit rooms. There are quite a few paths and even resturants with an amazing view.
There is a discount for tourists with passports, and a straightforward bus from Matsue JR station which also goes to Matsue Castle - make sure you get the 1000 yen 3 day pass for all buses in and around Matsue to save massively!

Great garden. At the best season, you can also get cut flowers all around as a decorations. The garden contains a lot of sceneries making you feel in a typical "That is so Japanese" place like green moss, Japanese steps, red bridge, Buddha statues etc in a harmony.

The ponds filled with peonies were more beautiful than I had imagined. Must go during spring! Foreigners get half price on admission when they show their passports.

Alas we missed seeing the garden in Spring with the peonies, but the night time illumination more than made up for the disappointment. A veteran of the Hiroshima illumination, my fiancee and I thought we'd skip it last year. A friend recommended Yushien.

It was very beautifully lit, and had some nice lighting designs.

Also had an interesting gift shop.

Very beautiful garden! Make sure you research ahead of time what flowers are in season so you know what to expect.

I'm really glad to have added Yuushien to my itinerary. We took a taxi from Adachi Museum of Art and it was nice to be able to walk through this garden and compare the experiences between the two gardens (they were both great!). It was late September so though not much was in bloom, it was still very lovely. Lunch at Zen was beautifully-presented and delicious and learning about the area's ginseng cultivation history was very interesting. We were also able to sample ginseng tea and the gift shops had some unique offerings. Well worth the time!
