What other travelers are saying about Kokyo Gaien National Garden
I'm so glad I found this peaceful spot. It's truly amazing how much calmer I feel surrounded by nature 🌳. This is the perfect place to just breathe and let go of all the stress. I really needed this mental break to clear my head and focus on what's important. Sometimes, all you need is a quiet moment like this 🧘♂️. #peace #calm #nature
Very peaceful place in the midst of busy Tokyo, walkable from the main station. If you have large luggage you can store at the station for ¥1000 for all day and take a stroll outside. The lights in the evening make it more romantic to just sit down and soak it all in
I had a chance to take my girl friend and her mother to this place. It is a beautiful place and relaxing. My gf’s mother was happy, but the place is big, so she was very exhausted😅 If you are bringing a kid or senior, you should plan carefully :)
Kokyo Gaien National Garden is a stunning park set on the grounds of the Imperial palace in central Tokyo. It is filled with hundreds of pine trees that have been hand shaped like bonsai trees. There is a monument with a gorgeous samurai statue on a horse of Kusunoki Masashige, an icon of the samurai bushido code. The moats of Edo Castle, built in 1457, as well as its gates, watchtowers, walls and bridges still remain here.
It’s a lovely place to stroll through and is very relaxing and spectacular with its rows upon rows of trimmed Kuromatsu pine trees. A very historic and beautiful place to visit indeed!
