The Millennium Garden Lavender Garden in Arashiyama, Saitama, is a scenic spot featuring approximately 50,000 lavender plants across 8 hectares. The best time to visit is during the Lavender Festival, held from early June to early July, where you can enjoy lavender picking for a fee. The garden is accessible via bus from Musashi-Arashiyama Station. Note that the garden was replanted after typhoon damage in 2019, and some years festivals were canceled. The garden offers both paid and free parking options, though the free parking is a considerable walk away. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear, especially after rain, and be aware that there is limited shade on sunny days.
