Garden Advice Service

Need Garden Advice for Your Japanese Garden?
Would you like expert advice on creating a Japanese garden? Are you planning a trip to Japan and wondering which gardens are worth visiting? Whether you’re designing your own garden or looking for insider tips on Japanese gardens, we’re here to help.
You can book an Online Meeting with Anika from Real Japanese Gardens to ask all your garden-related questions. This includes help with layout ideas, plant suggestions, or selecting the best gardens to visit in Japan.
To schedule a session, please visit our Contact Us page and describe what you’d like to discuss. Because we prepare thoroughly for each call, we don’t offer same-day sessions. Please contact us well in advance.
