During the large holiday period from April 19th (Fri) to May 6th (Mon, national holiday), 2024, it is expected that a large number of people will visit due to the blooming of wisteria. There are some changes and points to note from our usual guidance for admission, so please confirm the following information before your visit.

During the large holiday period from April 27th (Sat) to May 6th (Mon, national holiday), including surrounding roads, heavy congestion is expected, so we kindly ask you to use public transportation as much as possible when visiting.

Since tourist vehicles will not be allowed to enter Byodoin Omotesando from Ujibashi Nishizume intersection, taxi users are kindly asked to come to the south gate.

We apologize for any inconvenience to our visitors and sincerely appreciate your understanding.
