Garden Museum Hiei Ticket

Impressionist Masterpieces in a Sky Garden,
A Paradise Where Flowers and Light Converge

This is a special space on the summit of Mt. Hiei, 840m above sea level, where you can enjoy viewing masterpieces while simultaneously taking in the sights of Lake Biwa and Kyoto city.

Experience a fantastical encounter where 45 works by masters like Monet and Van Gogh are reproduced as prints and placed within the natural landscape, creating a harmony between the art and the flowers that change with the seasons. It's the best choice for those who want to enjoy an artistic stroll in the pleasant high-altitude climate.

Flower Paths of the Four Seasons, Seen Through an Artist's Eyes

Impressionist Masterpieces Blooming in Nature

Enjoy masterpieces not inside a museum, but in the open-air garden surrounded by the blue sky and wind. The artworks, reproduced on prints resistant to humidity and UV rays, vividly convey the colors as the artists intended. Using the audio guide available next to each artwork can deepen your understanding of the art.

Monet's Water Lily Pond and Diverse Themed Gardens

At the pond, a replica of Monet's garden in Giverny, France, you can encounter a dreamlike landscape with water lilies and weeping willows. Stroll through gardens with various themes, such as the Rose Garden and the Fragrant Herb Garden, and experience with all your senses the 'changing light' that Impressionist painters were obsessed with.

Rest and Relaxation at the Summit of Mt. Hiei

Benches with grand views of Lake Biwa and free rest areas are available throughout the garden. Appreciate roses blooming late into autumn thanks to the cool climate at the summit, or enjoy the simple pleasure of having your own bento box while gazing at the sky-touching scenery from the cafe terrace.

"Experience the most noble rest offered by art and nature at the 840m high sky garden, encountering Monet's water lilies and Van Gogh's colors."
