Hama Rikyu Gardens

4.4 (200)GardenTourist AttractionPlaygroundParkPoint Of InterestEstablishment

Hama-rikyu Gardens in Tokyo is a place where old meets new. Once a hunting area for feudal lords, it’s now a park where anyone can visit. The garden features a large pond filled with seawater, which changes with the tides. Right in the middle of this pond sits a tea house, perfect for a break.

The garden is a mix of traditional Japanese styles with some Western touches. You can walk along paths surrounded by blooming flowers and trees. In spring, cherry blossoms cover the park, and in autumn, the leaves turn bright colors.

One of the highlights is a pine tree that’s over 300 years old and carefully shaped over many years. The garden offers a peaceful escape from the city's busy streets. High-rise buildings peek over the garden's trees, making it a unique spot where nature and city life meet.

What other travelers are saying about Hama Rikyu Gardens

A wonderful garden with views over both the city and the sea. There were many butterflies in the flower garden with beautiful colours, and the tea house on the lake is also worth a visit. It costs 300 yen to enter and there is a stamp by the entrance for those that collect them.

Beautiful garden worth paying a visit (300 yens). There's several part to explore. I loved the flower garden and the tea house area. Such a peaceful place to chill. Very harmonious and well maintained.

Beautiful and serene gardens in such a crowded city. Come enjoy the nature and views from here, relax and have a bowl of refreshing mocha and authentic red bean cake in the rest facility, listen to the birds singing, admire the flowers and aged pines, wisteria or trumpet flower trellises, appreciate the views of the modern city around. It's very relaxing and peaceful. Worth the 300 yen of admission fee.

Paid entrance for adults and discounted for seniors. Lovely park. Free demonstration. Many scenic lakes against the city scapes but not the most beautiful. Moderate crowd (we went in the first week of nov).

The most beautiful garden. We happened to stumble across this gem while on our way to another destination but am very glad that we did. It was very nice to walk around the garden and see the various landmarks that it had to offer including a 300 year old pine tree 🌲
