本当に素晴らしいところでした。 庭園はとても手入れされていて、どの眺めも素晴らしかったです! 好古園の入場料が310円(2025.4月現在)ですが 姫路城を見るのならば 共通入場券を購入した方がお得です。 好古園 310円 姫路城入場券1000円、合計で1310円のところを1050円で購入できます。 好古園の中ではお茶をたてるところもあり 外国の方がたくさん手習いをしていました。 時間制になっており 人気のようでした 再入場はできないとありましたので要注意です。

う~む素晴らしい。姫路城で姫路城と好古園のセットのチケット(たしか1000円位)を購入し来てみたけれど好古園も素晴らしい。色々な植物のエリアがあり園内はまぁまぁ歩きました。この時期は緑がとても綺麗でついつい見入ってしまいました。中にはとても綺麗に咲いている花もありとても良かったです。竹が青々とする時期っていつ位でしたっけ??

姫路城の桜門橋から歩いて、5分ほどで到着できます。 姫路城に行ったついでに、すぐ隣にある好古園にも立ち寄ってみました(姫路城共通券でお得だったので)。「お城のついで」なんて失礼な言い方だけど、これがもう想像以上に素敵な癒やし空間だったんです! 一歩足を踏み入れると、そこはもう別世界!季節の花が咲き誇る庭園や、鯉が泳ぐ池、趣のある茶室など、どこを切り取っても絵になる美しさでした。いくつもの趣の異なる庭があるので、歩くたびに景色が変わって全然飽きません。 特に印象的だったのは、水の流れる音や鳥のさえずりが心地よくて、本当に心が洗われるようだったこと。姫路城の迫力もすごいけど、好古園の静かで穏やかな空気感も最高でした。 ちょっと休憩したい時や、美しい景色に癒やされたい時にぴったりの場所なので、姫路城と一緒に訪れてみることをオススメします!
