Old Koga Garden

Old Koga Garden

Enjoy roses in the Western-style house and autumn leaves in the Japanese garden at the Old Furukawa Garden all at once

The rose and autumn colors of the Kyukogawa Garden are attractive because you can enjoy the two different atmospheres of the Western-style garden and the Japanese-style garden at the same time. In the Western-style garden, brightly colored roses stand out against the backdrop of the classical Western-style building, while in the Japanese-style garden, maple leaves turn a soft hue, reminding us of the deepening of autumn. This is a beautiful spot to take a stroll in autumn, where you can see different expressions within a single garden.

Key points for photography

The key to shooting is to contrast the different autumnal expressions in the same garden, by being conscious of composing the Western-style garden to capture the Western-style building and roses together, and the Japanese-style garden to create depth by placing a maple tree in the foreground.
