Tips for Visiting Japanese Garden#
- Visit early in the morning to enjoy the garden before cruise-ship and day-tour crowds arrive-this small garden is busiest from late morning onward.
- The garden is compact-plan about 20-30 minutes so you can take a quiet circuit and enjoy the ponds and bonsai without feeling rushed.
- Combine the visit with nearby viewpoints (for example the Exotic Garden and the seafront) to manage time efficiently, since each site is compact and close together.
