Highlights

Lotus Pavilion

Lotus and water lily can be found collected in this centrally-located pavilion in the garden. The atrium houses domestic and foreign aquatic plants, water lilies, and lotuses. There are also other great exhibits in the Lotus Pavilion, such as murals, a video theater, an art gallery, and even a restaurant where you can grab a bite to eat—be sure to try the lotus-flavored soft serve ice cream or udon made by kneading lotus leaves into noodles.

Community Open Space

Enjoy the cool air surrounding this symbolic fountain in Mizu-no-Mori. Representing the bonds between water and people, this fountain often hosts water displays. The surrounding flowers—both hanging and flowerbeds—are changed every season. Look forward to seeing the fountain change with time.
