Are there any designated areas for eating or picnicking within Okochi Sanso Garden?

Detailed answer

While Okochi Sanso Garden spans approximately 20,000 square meters and offers a serene environment, there are no designated areas for picnicking or eating outside of the provided matcha and traditional sweets that come with admission. Visitors can enjoy their matcha and sweet in the open-air pavilion next to Tekisui-an teahouse. The garden's policy encourages visitors to appreciate the beauty of the garden without bringing in outside food or drink, other than the matcha and sweet included in the 1,000 yen admission fee for adults. This helps maintain the garden's tranquility and cleanliness. Visitors are allowed to stay for up to 90 minutes, giving them ample time to enjoy the garden's many features, including the Daijokaku villa and the museum dedicated to Denjiro Okochi's film legacy.
