Ōkuma Garden, Japanese strolling garden in Waseda Campus, Tokyo, Japan
The 3,000-square-meter garden contains numerous stone bridges spanning across ponds, with walking paths winding through seasonal flowers and trees.
Established in 1922 on former Ii family grounds, Shigenobu Ōkuma transformed the space by incorporating both Japanese and European gardening elements.
The garden features a replica of Shotoku-Daiou-Shinkyo, presented by Korean graduates to mark Waseda University's centennial celebration.
Located 5 minutes from Waseda Station, the garden welcomes visitors Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11:00 to 16:00 between April and December.
Shigenobu Ōkuma cultivated melons in the garden's hothouse, marking the first successful melon cultivation in Japan's history.
