Happoen Garden is a great spot for viewing fall foliage

#Valentine's Day 2025 "Shirokanedai" station is located in Tokyo's high-end residential area. There are two great maple viewing spots here, which are also less visited by tourists. Let me first share this attraction which is only a one-minute walk from the subway station~ "Happoen Garden", which is a well-known local wedding venue in Tokyo. Speaking of wedding venues~the most famous one in Tokyo should be "Meguro Gajoen Garden". "Meguro Gajoen" ~ This is a traditional Japanese luxury hotel that provides accommodation, entertainment, and wedding banquets. It is a typical Japanese black, red, and gold luxury route. It has been open for more than 90 years and has exquisite artworks known as the "Showa Ryugugu Castle". It is the earliest comprehensive wedding venue in Japan. Happoen is a dedicated venue where more than 2,000 weddings are held every year, as well as a restaurant and banquet hall. It was named in 1951 because it was "beautiful from all directions." During the Edo period, it was loved as the residence of "Ōkubo Hikozaemon," a hatamoto (direct samurai) of the Tokugawa Shogun. During the following 300 years, many celebrities have inherited its style. This is a Japanese garden that combines historical buildings with beautiful scenery of the four seasons. It is a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn. The garden also houses the Ogojinja Shrine, which venerates Emperor Jimmu and Emperor Meiji, and the relocated Meiji-era teahouse Yume-an, where you can also experience the tea ceremony. Ordinary tourists don’t come here very often, but it’s very relaxing to enjoy the maple leaves here. You may also have the opportunity to see newlyweds getting married here, and you can also feel the happiness of the newlyweds while visiting the attractions!
