What other travelers are saying about Rikugien Garden
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.
10 min walk from the JR station, this garden is very nice. Got here early in the morning so it was not crowded yet. But I would guess in the afternoon it could get very crowded. The garden has some nice places to sit and enjoy the view.
Visited 10 Dec 2024 and I love every part of the Garden. It was crowded but did not deter the enjoyment and appreciation. Take your time there, and if your schedule allows, explore the neighbourhood also (which I wished I did)
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.
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!
