Happo-en Garden

Happo-en Garden in Tokyo is a serene oasis for those who want to experience the tranquility and tradition of Japanese gardens. This garden has a collection of bonsai trees, some over 500 years old, to show the art and craftsmanship of bonsai. Happo-en means "garden of eight views," which refers to the garden design in which you can see beautiful views from every angle.

You can take a peaceful stroll along the paths that wind around a central pond. The pond has koi fish and is surrounded by well-maintained trees and plants that change with the seasons. Throughout the year, the garden looks different; cherry blossoms in spring, greenery in summer, autumn leaves, and snowy landscape in winter.

Not just a place for meditation, the garden is also a venue for traditional tea ceremonies, a full cultural experience. The tea houses on site show you Japanese hospitality and the importance of tea in Japan.

What other travelers are saying about Happo-en Garden

We had the Afternoon Tea set in the Thrush Cafe in Happoen. The garden was beautiful and very well kept. The staff were courteous. The afternoon tea set was, however, below expectation. While the food items were esthetically presented and was a pleasure to look at, the 2 bread items of the day would be, in my opinion, better replaced by savory sandwiches.

Night visit to Happo-en, an Edo styled garden in Tokyo. A hidden treasure with an amazing Bonsai alley, most of them over 100 years old, some over 500; simply fascinated…

It is a very nice garden you can enter for free with a beautiful light up after sunset which seems extremely popular with couples. I had the chance to chat with some of the wedding staff there who were very professional and helpful. Thank you for providing such a nice location
A beautiful Japanese style garden with only very few tourists. Can easily spend an hour in there walking around and taking pictures. Highly recommended.
