Rikugien Garden was built around 1700 with Rikugien literally meaning “six poems garden". It is a very spacious garden with a central pond, islands, forested areas, man-made hills and several teahouses. It will take you about an hour to cover the garden’s walking paths at a leisurely pace.
It is about a 10 minute walk from Sengoku subway station (Mita Line) to the garden.
The garden is opened from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm with admission of 300 yen.

The Secrets Of Speaking Japanese Fluently
I used to live the apartment, which is only 5 minute walk from Rikugien.
ReplyDeleteThe best season for visit is definitely in May that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
This is a lovely garden. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chigu Chigu, you must have enjoyed escaping to the garden for some peace & calm. May with the cherry blossoms would be a fantastic time to visit :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lina, it is a piece of beauty in the middle of a concrete jungle. I love Tokyo but it is nice to escape the craziness for a little bit :)
