Mifuneyama Rakuen Garden, once a villa for Lord Nabeshima Shigeyoshi, is now a nationally registered Place of Scenic Beauty. Located in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, the garden is easily accessible by bus or car from JR Takeo Onsen Station. The garden is famous for its stunning displays of azaleas from late April to early May, creating a vibrant carpet of color. In autumn, the landscape transforms with breathtaking foliage. Don't miss the teamLab digital art event. Note that the garden has wide open spaces and some steep slopes, so wear comfortable shoes. Open from 8 AM, it's a great place for a refreshing morning walk.
