There are lots of traditional gardens inherited from Heian Period in Kyoto, and they are open to the public as good cultural heritages today. But quite a lot of gardens do not seem to provide efficient information of their meanings or histories for tourists. The purpose of this study is to clarify by questionnaire survey, desire for methods of information services and knowledge of gardens, possessed by tourists who saw the sights by sightseeing bus. As a result, it is known that there are many tourists who have little understanding of gardens in spite of having an interest in them. Additionally study of actual condition survey of 43 major gardens in Kyoto shows that there exists a big gap between information desired by tourists and that provided actually by the garden manager. We recommend that open garden managers should provide plainer and more satisfactory information services.
