Hamarikyu Gardens

#tokyospots Hamarikyu Gardens offers a serene escape with a beautiful contrast of manicured Japanese landscaping set against Tokyo’s modern skyline. Located near Shiodome and the Sumida River, it’s a historic garden with tidal ponds, seasonal flowers, and a traditional teahouse where you can enjoy matcha. The paths wind through scenic spots perfect for quiet reflection or photography. It’s especially stunning during plum blossom and chrysanthemum seasons. This garden perfectly blends Edo-period elegance with contemporary urban life, making it a hidden gem.
