If you plan on going between March 28th-April 2nd it is mandatory to get a reservation for your visit. We went there on March 28, 2026 and it was packed. The park is huge. It's best to bring water with you or if you choose to have a picnic inside you can bring food with you as well (unopened). They have vending machines but you need yen $$ for that. And they have some cafes around, but the lines aren't worth the wait. The grounds are well kept and it's a peaceful space with lots of opportunities for relaxation

It was a small group, and we had a nice conversation—largely thanks to a fantastic guide. He told us about much more than just the food as we walked between the different restaurants.
