Located in Kitagawa Village, Kochi Prefecture, Marmottan Garden is a beautiful garden that recreates the garden beloved by French painter Claude Monet. It is the only garden in Japan officially recognized by the Monet Foundation, and makes visitors feel as if they are in a painting. The garden is divided into three areas: the Water Garden, the Flower Garden, and the Bordighera Garden.

📍Kitagawa Village "Monet's Garden" Marmottan Monet's Garden in Giverny, France, is famous as the garden beloved by the great impressionist painter Claude Monet. It is said that Monet spent half his life in this garden and his mansion with its atelier, and spent his time outside of creating art working in the garden. Monet's Garden Marmottan in Kitagawa Village recreates Claude Monet's thoughts in the nature of Kochi, and is the only place in the world that is allowed to call itself Monet's garden.

About an hour by car from Kochi Airport 🚗³₃ It was my first time driving in Kochi, as it was almost a straight road, but it was very easy to drive. It takes 2 hours, so you can take your time and see the whole thing! The park is large and there are many photo spots 🌈 The paintings and the scenery in them are truly beautiful The free zone has a goods corner, a cafe, a restaurant, and seedling sales The paid zone had Monet's garden and a cafe. The cafe in the paid zone is located at the edge of the park. The period when you can see the water lilies is limited, so it's a good idea to check before you go #Kochi #0yentripJanuary2025

If you're looking for hot springs in Kochi, I recommend Kitagawamura Onsen ♨️ There aren't many rooms, so you're lucky if you can stay there. It's a hot spring inn, but there is only one indoor bath and one open-air bath. It's in the mountains, so it's a bit difficult to drive, but it takes about 30 minutes from the tourist spot "Monet's Garden" in Kitagawamura 🚗 There is a pier very close to the inn, but there is nothing else... lol It was a place where you could relax and unwind from the fatigue of everyday life in nature 😊 The food was really delicious, and I would definitely recommend ordering a breakfast and dinner set if you stay here! The innkeeper was also kind and I would definitely like to stay here again! #0yentravel2025january #Kochi

In Kochi, there is a garden officially recognized by the Claude Monet Foundation, known as 'Monet's Garden'. ・ Since the water lilies wilt by the afternoon, I entered the garden as soon as it opened and headed towards the garden where the water lilies bloom and the drum bridge is located. In the early morning, there were few visitors, and I could enjoy the colorful water lilies while listening to the sounds of autumn insects. ・ The reflection of the sky and trees in the pond truly resembles a Monet painting. It is definitely worth a visit. ・ Kitagawa Village 'Monet's Garden' Marmottan tel: 0887-32-1233 fax: 0887-32-1243 1100 Notomo, Kitagawa Village, Aki District, Kochi Prefecture Opening hours 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last entry at 4:30 PM) Closed 1st Wednesday from June to October December 1st to the end of February

Monet's garden is located in Kitagawa Village, about an hour's drive east from Kochi City. It seems that he received permission from France to call himself Monet. Claude Monet is a representative impressionist artist, but in his later years he is famous for painting the water lilies blooming in his garden at various times and seasons. In Monet's garden, you can relive the process of how Monet's works were transformed into artworks that captured the flickering of light and the changing of the water lilies with a quick touch. On the way back, we went to Katsurahama Beach in Kochi City. It is also famous as a place where patriots from the end of the Edo period discussed things in morning dramas. There were also stylish cafes and souvenir shops! #Domestictrip

I went on a trip to Kochi Prefecture during the long weekend in October. I was interested in Monet's garden in Kochi Prefecture. Now that it's still difficult to travel abroad, I felt like I was traveling abroad. It's a little far from Kochi Airport, but the beautifully maintained garden was a great place to relax and enjoy. #autumntrip #autumnflowerfield
