Walking
If you are already in Fontvieille, head towards the waterfront promenade along the Port Hercule. Walk east along the promenade until you reach the end of the marina. From there, you will see the entrance to Princess Grace Japanese Garden just a short walk away. Look for the sign that says 'Jardin Japonais.' It's approximately a 10-15 minute walk from the marina.

Public Bus
You can take the local bus service to reach the garden. Look for bus line 1 or line 2, which stops near Fontvieille. Board the bus at the nearest stop and disembark at 'Jardin Exotique.' From there, walk a short distance heading towards Avenue Princesse Grace; the garden entrance will be on your left. The bus ticket costs around €1.50, and tickets can be purchased on the bus.

If you prefer a more direct option, you can hail a taxi. Tell the driver to take you to 'Jardin Japonais' or '5 Avenue Princesse Grace.' The ride should take about 5 minutes, depending on traffic. Taxi fares in Monaco are metered, so expect to pay around €10-15 for this short trip.
