Koko-en covers a vast area and consists of nine gardens, each with a different pond and spring style.

They change with the seasons and are full of highlights. The planning of Koko-en was designed and supervised by Professor Nakamura Moto of Kyoto University. It uses the existing houses and road layout, as well as the woods and squares along the way. It consists of nine large and small gardens. It is a strolling garden connected by ponds and streams. Its biggest feature is the background of the world heritage and national treasure Himeji Castle.
