Hama-rikyu Gardens in Tokyo is a place where old meets new. Once a hunting area for feudal lords, it’s now a park where anyone can visit. The garden features a large pond filled with seawater, which changes with the tides. Right in the middle of this pond sits a tea house, perfect for a break.

The garden is a mix of traditional Japanese styles with some Western touches. You can walk along paths surrounded by blooming flowers and trees. In spring, cherry blossoms cover the park, and in autumn, the leaves turn bright colors.

One of the highlights is a pine tree that’s over 300 years old and carefully shaped over many years. The garden offers a peaceful escape from the city's busy streets. High-rise buildings peek over the garden's trees, making it a unique spot where nature and city life meet.

What other travelers are saying about Hama Rikyu Gardens

Beautiful garden worth paying a visit (300 yens). There's several part to explore. I loved the flower garden and the tea house area. Such a peaceful place to chill. Very harmonious and well maintained.

A wonderful garden with views over both the city and the sea. There were many butterflies in the flower garden with beautiful colours, and the tea house on the lake is also worth a visit. It costs 300 yen to enter and there is a stamp by the entrance for those that collect them.

Beautiful and serene gardens in such a crowded city. Come enjoy the nature and views from here, relax and have a bowl of refreshing mocha and authentic red bean cake in the rest facility, listen to the birds singing, admire the flowers and aged pines, wisteria or trumpet flower trellises, appreciate the views of the modern city around. It's very relaxing and peaceful. Worth the 300 yen of admission fee.

Opened in 1946, Hama-rikyu Gardens is just under 62 acres in size and is surrounded by an ocean mote and the Tokyo skyline. Entrance was 300 Yen p/p. Tokyo was insanely humid and hot in August 2024 so it was a very miserable experience walking the gardens. There’s lots of greenery, picturesque bridges and ponds, but hardly any colorful flowers. I’m sure it’s a total different experience in autumn or spring. We found a snack shop in the middle of the park with a shaded seating area where we tried to cool off. We skipped the tea house. OVERALL: Find a photo op, shoot and head for the next shaded area. Avoid during the summer.

After finishing breakfast at Tsukiji Market, we visited Hamarikyu Gardens and it quickly became my favorite park in Tokyo. The entry fee is very cheap and the park is clean, well-maintained, with beautiful views and a picturesque pond. There are multiple water stations for drinking and clean restrooms available throughout. One highlight is the tea house located in the middle of the pond where you can enjoy tea while taking in the serene surroundings. If you're in Tokyo and enjoy parks, it's definitely worth a visit.
