Hamarikyu Gardens

Hamarikyu Gardens (浜離宮恩賜庭園 Hama-rikyū Onshi Teien) is a public park in Chūō, Tokyo, Japan. Located at the mouth of the Sumida River, it was opened April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 m² landscaped garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, the park itself surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.

The garden is normally calm. Visitors can also enjoy refreshment at a teashop in Nakashima located in the middle of the pond in the garden that offers matcha and Japanese sweets in a tea-ceremony style. A peony garden, plum tree grove and cosmos fields have flowers for every season. Japanese falconry and aikido are demonstrated at New Year [1].

Hidden gem not far from swarming Ginza. Tiny peaceful park, nice place to just relax sitting on grass, surrounded by nature in the heart of biggest megapolis on Earth.

A walk in this garden makes you forget you are in a big city. Great scenery and nature any time of the year. A must visit for photographers and those who seek a little silence.

Pleasant garden close to Tsukiji and connected by river cruise to Asakusa so very convenient to work into a schedule. Only ¥300 to visit but there are other nicer gardens in Japan. Not a must see

いよいよ燕の茶屋が完成しつつありましたし、鷹の茶屋は発掘調査に入ってました。この時期は菜の花が有名ですがあれは大名庭園の本質的な楽しみ方ではありません。やっぱり池泉側が大名庭園の本質。またここから徒歩で10分ぐらいの今は芝離宮と称する相州小田原藩上屋敷で後の紀州徳川家別邸の庭園も訪ねてみてください。

ご存知「将軍家の別荘&お庭」。松の茶屋の復元完成に続いて、燕の茶屋は2015年に(予定)、2017年度には「鷹の茶屋」も復元する予定ということで、一番使われていたと思われる11代家斉時の頃を彷彿とさせる日も近し。萌える。

元々は 1654 年、甲府宰相こと徳川綱重が拝領した浜屋敷。後に「西之丸御用屋敷」から「浜御殿」として将軍の庭園となる。維新後は浜離宮となり、戦後に東京都に下賜。他と違う最大の特徴は、大名庭園の代表的な使われ方である「偉い人たちの田舎疑似体験」用の設備が復元されているところ。座れる場所も多く、晩秋初冬は風景を眺めながらベンチでだらだらと時間を過ごすのも贅沢。
