Directions

One of Tokyo's oldest and most refined Edo-period stroll gardens, built in 1629 and centered on a large pond with miniature landscapes referencing famous Chinese and Japanese scenic spots. The plum blossoms in February and autumn foliage in November are genuinely spectacular. Entry is only ¥300, making it exceptional value. Crowds are manageable on weekdays but the adjacent Tokyo Dome events can spill over on weekends.
