Before you visit
Bring socks and check separate guided visits
Wear socks inside the buildings. For the underground passage and billiard room, check separate guided-visit conditions; ordinary admission does not provide access to every area.
Consider arrival time on your first day
Last admission is 16:30 and closing 17:00. An arrival-day visit needs airport travel and hotel luggage-storage time too. Move the visit to another day after a late arrival.
Questions about Kyu-Iwasaki-tei Gardens
Can I see the underground passage and billiard room on an ordinary visit?
