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.
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)
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)
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!
