Following a rough grid pattern, this garden is the most open of all that I visited. It incorporates some English country garden features but still retains a Japanese aesthetic in its design... I enjoyed the sky mirror garden and the planting that incorporates the expansive land beyond into the design. A beautiful outing.

Tokachi Hills is a garden-themed attraction that is reminiscent of the “western” sort of garden, with floral displays as well as fountains and ponds scattered throughout the gardens. There is an entrance fee of about 500yen per adult to enter the attraction, which I think is quite reasonable. I got a bit lost, since the visitor maps and signs around the gardens are in Japanese; and sometimes I really have no idea what flower I’m looking at because there were either no signs or they were in Japanese.
