Hama Rikyu Garden, {CATEGORY}

Located a short stroll from Tokyo Bay and just beside the popular Tsukiji Fish Market, step into a landscaper's dream as you enter Hama Rikyu Garden. With carefully trimmed plum, pine and other bonsai-like shaped trees marking the little path around the garden, a pond with a beautifully restored teahouse serves as the center of this little oasis. Cross over the pond via the zigzagging wooden bridge and take a step back into the days of Edo. Hama Rikyu Garden is 300 meters east of JR Shimbashi Station.

Hama Rikyu Garden, {CATEGORY}

Considered by some to be the best garden in Tokyo (but marred, in my opinion, by skyscrapers in Shiodome that detract from its charm), this urban oasis has origins stretching back 300 years, when it served as a retreat for a former feudal lord and as duck-hunting grounds for the Tokugawa shoguns. In 1871, possession of the garden passed to the Imperial family, who used it to entertain such visiting dignitaries as Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Come here to see how the upper classes enjoyed themselves during the Edo Period. The garden contains an inner tidal pool, spanned by three bridges draped with wisteria (views from the south end of the garden are the most picturesque). There are also other ponds, a refuge for ducks, herons, and migratory birds, a promenade along the bay lined with pine trees, a 300-year-old pine, moon-viewing pavilions, and teahouses (powdered green tea and a sweet will cost you ¥500/$4.15/£2.10). Plan on at least an hour's stroll to see everything, but the best reason for coming here is to board a ferry from the garden's pier bound for Asakusa, with departures every hour (or more often) between 10:35am and 4:15pm, the fare is ¥720 ($6/£3) one-way.
