we had a good time in the garden. we spent about 3 hours there. there is only one meadow where you can sit on the grass. there are two houses that can be entered.
Access to this garden is a bit inconvenient. It's a bit far to walk there. You can go to the same attraction as Tsukiji
Paperless is very convenient ~ scan the QR to enter ~ swipe the card to add and subtract rewards 😂 ~ both tourists and group guests are welcome ~ the park is large and comfortable to walk around!
First of all, it was great because there were no people. It was a very large and well-maintained garden!
Although you can also buy tickets directly locally, it is not bad to buy them first and then use them, so as not to waste the tickets.
We had a lot of fun in the garden. We stayed there for about 2 hours. There is only a patch of grass where you can sit on the grass. There are two houses accessible. Red leaves are just like that!

Guide

  • A historic garden founded in the Edo period.
  • Highlights include a seawater pond, the only existing seawater pond in an Edo garden in Tokyo, and a teahouse built as if floating on the water.
  • The contrast with the skyscrapers is also spectacular!
  • Visitors can enjoy matcha (powdered green tea) and wagashi (Japanese confection) at the Nakajima-no-ochaya at a nominal fee!

After the Meiji Restoration, it became the Rikyu of the Imperial Palace and was renamed "Hama Rikyu". Afterwards, due to the Great Kanto Earthquake and local wars, many buildings, including the Tea House, were destroyed, and their graceful style was lost. It was given to the Tokyo Government on November 3, which is the 20nd year of Showa period (1945), and it was officially opened to the public in April of 1946 after facility renovation. In addition, according to Japan's cultural property protection law, it was designated as a National Scenic Area and heritage in the December of the 23rd year of Showa period (1948). Next, the surrounding water was designated as a National Scenic Area and heritage in the November of the 23rd year of Showa period (1952).
