Top 6 Photoshoot Locations in Shirotori Garden
With 3.7 hectares, it is the largest Japanese garden in Nagoya.
Home to about 1,500 trees, it provides a grand and diverse natural backdrop.
Centered around the tea houses Seiu-tei and Shioiri-tei, couples can enjoy seasonal scenery throughout the year.
The inner and outer garden paths of Seiu-tei are lush with greenery, transforming into breathtaking autumn colors.
Near Shioiri-tei, the iconic “Deai-bashi” (Bridge of Encounters) creates cinematic, dramatic photo opportunities.
You can also shoot against waterfalls, winter snow-frame decorations, or along the wooden corridor of the main building—taking a leisurely stroll through the garden as your memories are captured.
The Tea Houses of Shirotori Garden

There are two tea houses and a large hall in the main building.
The room known as Ichinoma offers an open space with sweeping views of the garden.
Right next to it, Ninoma provides the perfect setting for intimate side-by-side poses and traditional tea house scenes.
Crossing the long covered corridor leads to Rireiseki, a tea house with large chair seating. Photos in front of this historic space are especially popular.
Sitting along the corridor with the pond in the background creates romantic kimono portraits by the water’s edge.
