Where you'll be
From Passprt Community
- Go around 8 AM to enjoy peaceful gardens, softer light for photos and fewer people crowding the stepping stones.
- The koi ponds are charming but fish often look overfed and sluggish so feeding them might feel uncomfortable.
- The upper level is quieter, with detailed stonework, meditation corners and expansive views if you want a break from the crowd.
- Swimming in the spring‑fed pools is refreshing if you bring swimwear and towel and if allowed by staff.
- Parking fees are small but bring small cash since there are no ATMs and card payments may not work.
- Nearby warungs serve filling local meals at fair prices and a mango smoothie paired well while watching the gardens.
- Photo queues at stepping stones can be long on busy days so keep shots quick or angle yourself to share space.
