Hamarikyu Gardens, Japanese garden in Chuo, Japan
The Hamarikyu Gardens feature extensive traditional landscaping with ponds, trees, and flowers spanning 25 hectares along Tokyo Bay.
The garden originated in 1654 as a hunting ground for the Tokugawa family before becoming an imperial retreat during the Meiji period.
The garden includes multiple traditional teahouses where visitors can participate in Japanese tea ceremonies while observing the surrounding landscape.
The garden opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with entrance fees of 300 yen for adults and 150 yen for seniors.
The garden contains a seawater pond that changes level with Tokyo Bay's tides, making it the only remaining tidal pond from the Edo period.
