Kyu-Shiba-Rikyu Gardens

Unclaimed

Beautiful gardens and not many people there when we visited from 12:00 to 14:00 hs. Unfortunately the cherry blossoms were not blooming yet but it was still a beautiful park. Very peaceful place that you can go to sit and read a book or just relax. We walked the whole park and it doesn’t take very long but we enjoyed going slow and sitting down. It makes Tokyo feel very quiet and tranquil.

There’s a construction going at the south side. You could not go from there. So maybe north side is the only way to go now. It is definitely longer than the maps suggested. From the south side it would have taken only 3 minutes. The garden is part of 9 metropolitan heritage gardens. It’s not a large garden but still offers beautiful transitional Japanese gardens feel. There are some Sakura blossoms in the back of the garden. You could see from the entrance. And that’s where people gathered sitting under the trees. There are some benches available. There is also another grassy grove where people put out their picnic sitting ware. Many locals turned out. And mostly seniors. Also families with kids. Great place for kids to run around.

More than worth for 150 jpy The park is well kept and Sakura was super nice No crowd so we can enjoy our time

Beautiful and peaceful Japanese garden with lots of Sakura flowers and other plants! Great for a stroll as it is super convenient. 3 mins from the Hamamatsucho JR station!

Nice garden with well maintained gardens and trees, albeit construction noise nearby. It takes some practice to spot great photo shots.
