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

One of the most beautiful parks I've seen in Tokyo. Well maintained with lots to see. It's relatively large and good for a walk or just sitting down to read a book. For those who like flowers there is an extremely beautiful area. Recommended place.

This is a beautiful garden in the middle of city. Amazing how calm it feels. 300 yen to enter or 400 yen to go here and another amazing park about 20 minutes away. If you visit parks in Tokyo these two are highly recommended. I have been in winter and late spring and both bring a little something different. Also a nice tea house inside park. Wisteria is amazingly old and in late January I believe some plum blossoms were blooming.

A little hidden gem inside the city and preserved nature. I was actually just walking around and saw this interesting area so I walked in. Discovered by chance and paid a little fee to enter. Beautiful little park to get away and clear your mind if you want something relaxing to do away from the city life.

After visiting Tsukiji Outer market we went for a stroll and ended up in these gardens without planning on visiting. We were surprised by the serenity of the garden in between the high rises of the city. It was nice to walk around and unwind a bit. It is a nice place to visit when you’re in the neighborhood. We visited Japan in April 2024.

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.
