What other travelers are saying about Rikugien Garden
The entrance ticket for adults on weekends is 300 yen. Visited in early December and it was very crowded, as many people came to enjoy the garden during autumn, with several trees turning beautiful shades of red and yellow. It’s a nice escape from the busy, bustling city.
Beautiful gardens that's a great place for a walk in autumn or spring. And apparently the dude who restored the garden had a thing for funny rocks, so you'll see them all over the garden.
And there's two tea house serving matcha tea sets, one over looking the pond with Al fresco sitting, and the other looking towards the first and the entire garden with indoor seating on tatami mats.
Highly recommended place for a chill afternoon. I FEEL AT PEACE NOW.
For like ¥300, worth every yen of it.
Took a walk in the parking lot the middle of the city. Well worth the 2 hours I spent in the park. These photos were taken on Nov 30th and the color just beginning to turn red. I might look very different in early Dec.
The most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen. Recommend going early for less crowds. Stunning fall color! The teahouse experience is also incredible. Felt like stepping back into time!
Visited during the fall night time viewing event in November and it was mesmerizing. I've been to many parks in and around Tokyo and while they're all stunning in the daylight, it's quite a unique experience to see it lit up at night. There are also some small shops selling food and souvenirs inside. I had a hot cup of amazake to warm me up on the cold night. The event runs from late November to early December and the tickets are about 1100 yen if you buy them at the gate or 900 yen if you book early on asoview.com (website is only in Japanese so I used the browser translator to book)
