What other travelers are saying about Hama Rikyu Gardens
Great park, right next to the seawater. In fact the ponds inside are full with sea water drawn directly from the bay area.
You can enjoy the piece and awesome trees and plans for a nice walk.
Don’t miss it out if you enjoy a small escapes from the urban area, I will define it as a green paradise in the middle of sky skyscrapers.
Plus you can find some pretty cool stamps on the entrance
Lovely gardens by the water. You can tell it’s being taken care of and the admission fee is definitely worth paying (300¥ per person). There are many benches you can sit on, paths you can walk on, lovely bridges across ponds and some traditional tea houses offering matcha and sweets🍵 It feels so calm and is the perfect place to escape rushed Tokyo, in Tokyo🧚
Amazing and peaceful urban garden full of history.
Only downside visiting it in Auvust was the low water level and the related "smell" when waking close to inner canals. Lakes still perfect and enjoyable.
Highly recommended.
Magnificent garden located within walking distance from Ginza. Birds, flowers and trees adorn the gardens with various ponds, streams and rivers among the surroundings.
Some history lessons along the way which helps one understand the thought that went into designing such a beautiful garden.
The full walk is close to four miles and about two/three hours if you really want to take in the full experience and beauty.
An amazing tranquil location within the city of Tokyo. Next to the sea so often has sea vessels blowing across it. The ancient gardens are kept in amazing condition. Well worth a walk around. It was 36 Delicious when we visited and we enjoyed the quiet and peace it gave us. It was fantastic in July. I imagine it is great throughout the year. Do visit if you have time. Saw many butterflies there.
