Higo Hosakawa Garden, Japanese strolling garden in Mejirodai, Japan
The garden features traditional stone paths that wind through carefully shaped shrubs, ponds, and waterfalls along the Kanda River in Tokyo.
The Hosokawa family, feudal lords of the Higo region, established this garden as their suburban residence during Japan's Edo period.
The garden demonstrates Japanese landscaping principles with its meticulously arranged water elements, stones, and seasonal plant compositions.
Visitors can access the garden from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM through Waseda Station on the Toden Arakawa Line or Edogawabashi Station.
From late November to mid-March, the garden displays yukitsuri, a traditional rope technique that protects pine trees from heavy snow.
