Happo-en Garden

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.
