Despite its central location, it is widely cherished as a place of relaxation where visitors can enjoy abundant nature.

Among its attractions, the "Maple Tunnel" is one of the most popular spots during the foliage season.The Maple Tunnel is an essential sight when strolling through the garden. Bright red maple leaves cover the overhead canopy, creating the sensation of walking beneath a natural archway.

Fallen leaves carpet the ground, making it feel like walking on a carpet of autumn colors.This scenery not only moves visitors but also serves as an ideal photo spot for photography enthusiasts. Capturing the scene in the soft light of early morning or evening makes the maple colors stand out even more vividly, so be sure to plan your visit time accordingly.
