Visiting Japan. Advice on contact Shinju Suzuki Garden?

[chicago1980]

I am flying to Japan for a couple weeks and would enjoy visiting Shinji Suzuki as part of my trip.

Any advice on how I can set this garden visit up?

Thank you

You want to go to his private garden or to the Taikan Bonsai Museum? I think the latter is just open to the public.
For private garden visits I found it not to be easy without the right connections (Which I completely understand)

The Taikan Bonsai Museum.

Basically the photos and videos of Shinji Suzuki Taikan museum.

This is 2 hrs or so from Tokyo and I am willing to make the travel.

I've made arrangements for about 7 other gardens, this particular garden has been elusive to arrange.

I'd contact Michael Hagedorn, Matt Reel, or Tyler Sherrod.

I was not able to visit Shinji Garden on this trip.
I was able to visit many other great gardens while in Japan.

Thank you all for the advice.

Here are some photos of the Bonsai I was able to visit.

Nice pics. How did you organize a visit to Kimura's garden? I thought it was not open to the public?

I am not sure if it is, or not opened to the public.

I arranged my visit via a private tour.

Definitely is off the beaten path of Omiya Bonsai Village.

When I went to Japan last year, I found that many gardens require reservations, especially the popular ones. It might be worth checking Shinji Suzuki’s website or social media for any booking info. You could also ask your hotel for help; they usually have great contacts.
