Edo strolling garden

Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens, an Edo-period daimyo strolling garden, stands out for its unique blend of Japanese and Chinese landscaping envisioned by Tokugawa Yorifusa and completed by Tokugawa Mitsukuni. The garden is recognized as Tokyo's oldest daimyo garden with dual national designations as a Special Historic Site and a Special Place of Scenic Beauty. Highlights include the scenic Daisen-sui pond surrounded by miniaturized landscapes, the iconic Engetsu-kyo full-moon bridge, and seasonal plantings, such as plum blossoms in winter and vibrant maples in autumn.
