It's close to Morioka Station and admission is free.

Although it is a historic garden with ties to the Morioka clan, the great thing about it is that admission is free throughout the year. There is a parking lot, but the number of spaces is limited, so we recommend using public transportation. By bus, take the Shoen New Town (Shoen Yamagishi Line) from Morioka Station and get off at Chuo Kominkan-mae (approximately 15 minutes from Morioka Station); by taxi, it takes about 10 minutes from Morioka Station.
