Directions

A stunning tidal garden built on reclaimed land where seawater flows in and out with the tides, creating a unique ecosystem of ducks and wading birds right in the heart of the city. The contrast between the traditional garden, tidal ponds, and surrounding skyscrapers is genuinely dramatic and photogenic. A historic teahouse on the central island serves matcha and wagashi. It can feel exposed and windy in winter, and the ¥300 entry is well worth it.
