The Garden of Fine Arts is adjacent to the botanical gardens and displays famous paintings recreated in ceramics. The garden was quiet and peaceful because the water sound cut the outside traffic noises.

It's also open from 9 am to 5 pm (last entrance is 4:30 pm), and closed from December 28th to January 4th. 
The admission fee is 100 yen. (There is a 250 yen ticket to visit Botanical Gardens and Garden of Fine Art on the same day.)
