Hama-rikyu Gardens

This municipal park, used as a villa by the Tokugawa shogunate and Imperial household, is recognized nationally as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and a Special Historic Site. It features a saltwater pond and two duck ponds, and is known as a garden used by nobility during Japan’s feudal period. In the spring, about 100 cherry trees with varieties like Yoshino, double-flowered, and North Japanese hill cherries come into bloom throughout this quaint garden centered on its ponds. The harmony of the water surface and the cherry blossoms is gorgeous during full bloom, and the view from the bridge is superb. The season lasts from late March to late April.
