岡山後楽園の庭園には3つの入り口があり、南門はその1つです。南門は、かつて藩主専用の入口であった御舟入跡の近くにあります。


南門からは岡山城を一望できます。岡山城は歩行者専用の月見橋を通って旭川を渡れば5分で到着できる位置。南門のすぐ外にあるカフェや食堂からの眺めは最高です。もっぱら使われる南門と正門で、東門はたまにしか開きません。


春には、南門から庭園内まで続くアーチ状の桜並木を見に多くの人が訪れます。


South Gate


Okayama Korakuen’s South Gate is one of three official garden entrances. It is located close to the site of the Ofunairi inlet and dock, which was once the exclusive entrance to the garden used by the ruling daimyo lord.


The South Gate commands a spectacular view of Okayama Castle, which can be reached in five minutes by crossing the Asahi River on the pedestrian-only Tsukimi Bridge. The view is best from the nearby cafe or the canteen located outside the South Gate. The South Gate and the Main Gate are the most frequently used, while the East Gate is open only occasionally.


In spring, many visitors enter the garden from the South Gate to enjoy the large cherry blossom trees, which form a tunnel stretching into the garden.
