Being immersed in the world of Impressionism is truly so romantic.
Kitagawa Village “Monet’s Garden” in Kochi Prefecture was modeled after Monet’s garden in France, recreating its pond, water lilies, weeping willows, flowers, and wooden bridge. Stepping inside feels like walking straight into one of Monet’s paintings.
The best surprise was how few tourists there were. You can stroll around and take photos at your own pace without the crowds, quietly soaking in the picturesque scenery. Every angle is as beautiful as a postcard. If you like lesser-known spots in Japan and Impressionist art, you’ll really fall in love with this place!
