The location is a little out of the way, but well worth the trip if you have an interest in Bonsai, Japanese culture or appreciation for centuries-old mastery. We planned to take a bus from the local ... more »

Our too short visit to this amazing Bonsai School was one of the highlights of our time in Tokyo. Unfortunately time did not permit participating in a class, but observing the different bonsai forms w... more »

The bonsai experience is an hour long "lesson" on how to make a bonsai tree. You are given a tree to work on, which in our case was a small pine tree that was already several years old and had already... more »

So many bonsai's at one place. It was my first Bonsai Museum but definitely not my last. The bonsai prices are in the normal range. But don't expect a decent bonsai under 700€. The atmosphere is great and the owners/staff do their best to explain the history of the trees and the art behind bonsai.

Impressive collection of bonsaï, some over 500years old. Friendly guide. Need to speak some Japanese to understand it all but the sight it worthy enough

Very unique and interesting museum. Worth visiting. Be sure to ask about and listen to some of the stories behind these curious trees.

Amazing experience. A little out of the way but this just adds to the experience. We had the 1 hour Bonsai course which was in excellent english and everyone there was extremely friendly and welcoming. The actual museum is gorgeous, the bonsai trees are breath-taking, there's a beautiful koi pond and a cute little shiba puppy! We even got to meet Master Kobayashi who tried to give us two little bonsai-starter trees, but we couldn't accept due to Australian customs. It was so calming to just wander around, enjoy the scenery and watch people working in peace. I would highly recommend visiting here, especially in the spring when the large Sakura tree over the waterfall is flowering! The surrounding town is quite quaint too.
