Happo-en Garden in Tokyo is a serene oasis for those who want to experience the tranquility and tradition of Japanese gardens. This garden has a collection of bonsai trees, some over 500 years old, to show the art and craftsmanship of bonsai. Happo-en means "garden of eight views," which refers to the garden design in which you can see beautiful views from every angle.

You can take a peaceful stroll along the paths that wind around a central pond. The pond has koi fish and is surrounded by well-maintained trees and plants that change with the seasons. Throughout the year, the garden looks different; cherry blossoms in spring, greenery in summer, autumn leaves, and snowy landscape in winter.

Not just a place for meditation, the garden is also a venue for traditional tea ceremonies, a full cultural experience. The tea houses on site show you Japanese hospitality and the importance of tea in Japan.

What other travelers are saying about Happo-en Garden

A beautiful event hall in the middle of Tokyo. The garden is well designed and displays many of the iconic Japanese inspiration structures. There is a lake, waterfall, cute little cottages and, of course, a tea house. It is definitely worth a wonderful walk thru the place and have a wonderful meal at the dining hall. Overall, a very nice event center.

Free to look around if you’re visiting any of the places inside—which I was—but no-one checked anyway. Lovely spot to spend some time in. The bonsai were well worth spending some time to look at, with some over 500 years old.

It is a very nice garden you can enter for free with a beautiful light up after sunset which seems extremely popular with couples. I had the chance to chat with some of the wedding staff there who were very professional and helpful. Thank you for providing such a nice location

Night visit to Happo-en, an Edo styled garden in Tokyo. A hidden treasure with an amazing Bonsai alley, most of them over 100 years old, some over 500; simply fascinated…

We had the Afternoon Tea set in the Thrush Cafe in Happoen. The garden was beautiful and very well kept. The staff were courteous. The afternoon tea set was, however, below expectation. While the food items were esthetically presented and was a pleasure to look at, the 2 bread items of the day would be, in my opinion, better replaced by savory sandwiches.
