Formed in 1948, this garden offers a quiet spot to relax if you are in Tokyo.
Hama-rikyu is a public park of Tokyo located at the mouth of the Sumida River in
Chuo Ward. It is called Hama-Rikyu for short and cherished by all citizens. The
park is a landscaped garden in the go-round style around the Shioiri Pond, a
pond of the tidal reach. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a
villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.
The garden has an atmosphere of utter tranquility where visitors can forget the
passage of time. Visitors can also enjoy refreshment at a teashop in Nakashima
located in the middle of the pond in the garden that offers tea from powdered tea
leaves and Japanese sweets in a tea-ceremony style. A peony garden, plum tree
grove and cosmos fields render flowers and greenery enjoyable in every season.
Located close to the city of Shidome.
Admission to Hama Rikyu costs 300 Yen
