About drone photography/filming

In addition, we will take the same measures if you have trespassed by using another point of entry aside from the regular entrance, without paying the entrance fee.

Opening hours are basically from 9:00 to 17:00, but during the Golden Week holidays and the Obon period, the park is opens earlier and closes later, so please check the website.
Is it possible to enter outside normal hours?
Excepting during special events, the gardens receive maintenance outside normal hours, so entering then is forbidden.However, depending on flowering season, we may open earlier and close later. Please check our website for extended hours information.
No admissions are allowed for any reason during the closing period. Even the use of restrooms without permission is considered an illegal intrusion, for which a fine of 30,000 yen per person will be charged.
In addition, although the entrance may occasionally be left open for Park Management, as the area is privately owned, entry remains prohibited.
