A creative landscapist shaped the leaves and branches of the pine trees beautifully. The tea house in the middle of the pond opens up to a tranquil skyscape. There is a shaded area where visitors may rest their tired legs, and share their bento meals. The low buildings built by the ancient noble family are thoughtfully conserved using traditional methods, making this an informative stop for the culture afficionados. We enjoyed the walk through this beautiful garden to take the river bus to Asakusa. There is also a river bus to Odaiba too. We intended to have some tea at the tea house but it’s temporarily closed. You can see where the emperor hunted and had gardens. Beautiful place to walk or catch the ferry. #givethanks #givethanks

#springwander It is the garden of the Tokugawa Shogun family, which has a pond in the tide and two duck fields, and in the Edo period, it served as a "deto" of Edo Castle. At the time of the 11th Shogun Ienari, the garden was almost completed in its current form. After the Meiji Restoration, it became the Imperial Family's Imperial Palace, and the name was also Hama Imperial Palace. It was given to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 1945 (Showa 20), and was opened to the public in 1946 after maintenance. In November 1952, it was designated as a national special scenic spot and special historical site, including the surrounding water surface. About 26 species and 80 cherry trees are planted in the park.

#springwander "Hama Rikyu Onshi Garden" is a representative daimyo garden of the Edo period with a tide pond where seawater comes in and out and two duck fields. From late April to May, flowers such as Fuji, Azala, Button, and Hanashobu are at their best.

Hamarikyu Gardens offers a unique hanami experience where nature meets modern Tokyo. This beautifully preserved Edo-period garden is surrounded by skyscrapers, creating a stunning contrast between past and present. The cherry blossoms here are delicate and picturesque, reflecting beautifully in the tranquil ponds. One of the highlights is the traditional tea house in the middle of the garden, where you can enjoy a cup of matcha and wagashi (Japanese sweets) while admiring the blossoms. Since it’s a paid-entry garden, the crowds are smaller, making it a peaceful and refined hanami destination. Another unique feature is its location near Tokyo Bay—after enjoying the cherry blossoms, you can take a boat ride on the Sumida River for another scenic view. If you want a hanami experience that combines history, culture, and Tokyo’s urban skyline, Hamarikyu Gardens is a must-visit spot!

Families, when in Tokyo, you must visit Hama-rikyu Gardens! It is a seaside park hidden in the city. Stepping into it is like embarking on a pleasant journey through time and space. The 300-year-old pine trees in the garden stand tall and straight, as if quietly telling the story of time. The garden pool, which is filled with seawater, is sparkling, and ripples form as the sea breeze blows. Water birds sometimes rest and sometimes play by the pond, adding a touch of liveliness to the garden. Pick an autumn afternoon, find a quaint tea pavilion, sit down and sip a cup of matcha, listen to the birds singing and the rustling of leaves falling, the air is filled with autumn, comfortable and beautiful. After spending two hours leisurely touring the garden, we went to Tsukiji Market, the kitchen of Tokyo people, to find food. As soon as you enter the market, the wide variety of seafood will make you salivate, salmon, sweet shrimp, sea urchin... each one is incredibly fresh. But my favorite is tamagoyaki. When you take a bite, the sweetness and freshness spread on the tip of your tongue. The taste is really amazing! The tranquility of Hama-rikyu Gardens combined with the bustle of Tsukiji Market is a half-day trip that brings double the fun. Families should plan your trip now! #Tokyo Attractions

#JapanTravel Visiting Hamarikyu Garden was a magical experience. Located in the heart of Tokyo, this garden combines the beauty of nature with ancient history. I wandered through the corridors adorned with quiet lakes and lush trees. I saw a traditional tea house and enjoyed drinking green tea in a quiet and charming atmosphere. I was captivated by the seasonal flowers that added a special beauty to the place. I took many photos to document these beautiful moments. Visiting Hamarikyu Garden was a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and regain some peace. There is no doubt that this visit will remain one of the most beautiful experiences in Tokyo.

#cherryblossom2024 I embarked on an exhilarating adventure to the lively city of Japan during our vacation. The onset of spring transformed the surroundings into a paradise, and walking through Hama-rikyu Gardens invigorated us. Enveloped by breathtaking scenery in this serene sanctuary, we were captivated by the breathtaking sights that never ceased to impress us, forming indelible memories. Hama-rikyu Garden in Tokyo distinguishes itself from other gardens in the city by showcasing not the typical weeping cherry blossoms or maple foliage, but rather the stunning bright pink plum trees that bloom during the late winter season. This serene garden, with a rich history as a hunting ground for the Tokugawa shogunate, now finds itself nestled amidst the towering structures of the Shiodome development, creating a unique blend of traditional and modern elements. The allure of Hama-rikyu lies not only in its picturesque plum trees but also in the abundance of water features that surround it, creating a sense of tranquility and spaciousness that is truly captivating. Situated on reclaimed land, the garden is encircled by an ancient walled moat, offering two grand entrances via the Otemon and Naka-no-gomon bridges, with the added option of arriving by boat from Asakusa for a truly memorable experience. The focal points of Hama-rikyu Garden include a vast tidal pond, home to two charming islands - one of which hosts a traditional teahouse - connected to the shore by elegant wooden bridges. Additionally, a striking 300-year-old pine tree serves as a photogenic centerpiece, adding to the garden's timeless beauty and allure. With its harmonious blend of natural elements and meticulous landscaping, Hama-rikyu Garden stands as a true oasis in the heart of bustling Tokyo. This lavish and bewitching sanctuary has imprinted a permanent image in my mind. The immense joy of coming back and cherishing each moment in this unique haven is incomparable.#trip

#cherryblossom2024 Cherry blossoms in the light of lanterns The flowering of Japanese cherries is almost synonymous with spring. At this time of the year, the whole country is awash in pink and white flowers. Huge crowds gather in large parks during hanami, the festival of admiring sakura. However, if you want to admire the delicate petals in peace and quiet, think about Hamarikyu Gardens. How to get there Hamarikyu Gardens are a short walk from several stations. It can also be reached by river tram from Asakusa. The gardens can be reached in 15 minutes from Shimbashi Station or in five minutes from Shiodome Station on the Oedo Subway Line or the Yurikamome Line. A Tokyo river tram docks at the pier next to the gardens. It follows the Sumida River Line route from Asakusa in 35 minutes — a pleasant alternative to the subway. The entrance fee to the gardens is included in the fare. However, to return to Asakusa by the same route, you will have to take a short boat trip to Hinode Pier — only from there the river tram will take you back to Asakusa. It is interesting During the Edo period (1603-1867), the shogun's residence stood here and duck hunting grounds were located In the tea house on the pond, you can drink matcha tea with traditional Japanese sweets They are beautiful both day and night Sakura trees against the backdrop of the Shiodome skyscrapers are the embodiment of the contrast between old and modern Tokyo. Cherry blossoms are beautiful during the day, but after sunset, the backlight gives it a magical, unearthly charm. The cherry blossom Festival in Hamarikyu Gardens usually takes place from the end of March to the beginning of April.

Such a beautiful park! As with many parks/gardens you have to pay a small fee but it is worthy. The park is surrounded by tall buildings. We enjoyed the trees and the calmness of the place. We managed to get on the last boat out to Sky Tree. That is also definitely worth it as you can sail up the Sumida River. If you go in Spring you will see the river banks full of cherry blossoms. In 2024, I want to come here again. #2024wish

Hama-rikyū Gardens located at the mouth of the Sumida River in Tokyo is an urban oasis to escape the hustle and bustle of the mega-city. From the Tsukiji Outer Market, it's a five-minute walk. You can easily do both in half a day. According to the guide brochure, this was a family garden of Tokugawa Shogun which functioned as an outer fort for the Edo Castle. There are many bridges, ponds, ducks, ravens, and uniquely shaped trees to make this a worthwhile break from the hectic parts of Tokyo. In 2024, I want to be back here. #2024wish

very beautiful views from HAMARIKYU☺️

Hama Rikyu, is a large, attractive landscape garden in central Tokyo. Located alongside Tokyo Bay, Hama Rikyu features seawater ponds which change level with the tides, and a teahouse on an island where visitors can rest and enjoy the scenery. The traditionally styled garden stands in stark contrast to the skyscrapers of the adjacent Shiodome district. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Hamain Palace Grace Garden This time I came to Tokyo, the cherry blossom season is coming to an end. One hour before sunset, I want to see the cherry blossoms. Sakura Information said that the old Shiba Palace and the Palace of the Palace were delayed for one hour during the cherry blossom season. The former was a short distance and preferred. After the rush, the time was just closed. The staff suggested that I go to Hamaiya. It turns out that this delay in closing the park is taking turns... Its really a plan to keep up with the changes and can only continue on the road in the rain. The names of the two gardens are a bit like they have ever been the royal palace, and they were later given to Tokyo. The Binhai Palace is especially special for diverting seawater into the pool and admiring the tidal pool with different views of the tides and tides. There are also many marine fish habitats in the pool. Entering the garden is a large cherry tree, which makes people feel happy immediately. Although there are many skyscrapers around, the garden still has a natural and leisurely pace, which is also a unique scene in Tokyo. There are four royal tea houses around the pool of tides. If you have time, you can drink matcha and eat fruit at the Imperial Tea House in Nakajima. There are two other duck farms at the end of the year, as well as peony gardens and flower fields.

Its hard to connect Japan with rapeseed, but theres such a golden presence in the courtyard of the Palace of Tokyo in Tokyo, and its not like the rape blossoms. There are a lot of cherry blossoms, which are expected to bloom perfectly next week. Full of expectations. After tasting seafood at the Tokyo parking market, walk for ten minutes to reach the palace of the palace, and the ticket is 300 yen. I dont think many parks in Japan are charged, but the posters at the entrance to the park are not necessarily the same. . The courtyard is very large and gives a very quiet and comfortable feeling. It is in sharp contrast with the surrounding high-rise buildings and enjoys such tranquility. At this time, in mid-March, the rape blossoms are in full swing. In the cherry blossom garden on the side of the rapeseed, some early cherry blossoms have been opened, and it is estimated that the full bloom will be at the end of the month. There is a tea room in the park. Sitting at the lake and drinking tea and enjoying the flowers, I must have a taste.
