This is a feudal lord's garden from the early Edo period. The garden spreads out around a pond. If you look at the garden alone, it looks like a Japanese garden, but when you see the skyscrapers reflected in the pond and the Shinkansen trains running by, you'll feel like you're in Tokyo. This is a recommended spot where you can see both past and present scenery at once. It's a large area, so it's a hidden gem of a tourist spot where you can stroll around leisurely without it being crowded even on weekends. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Name] Kyu-Shiba Rikyu Gardens [Location] 1-4-1 Kaigan, Minato-ku, Tokyo [Access] About 1 minute walk from the north exit of Hamamatsucho Station on the JR Yamanote Line and Keihin Tohoku Line [Opening hours] 09:00-17:00 [Closed] Year-end and New Year holidays (December 29th to January 1st of the following year) [Admission] 150 yen for adults, 70 yen for those aged 65 and over (Free for elementary school students and younger and junior high school students living and studying in Tokyo) Visit date: October 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱ #TokyoTrip2024 #100TravelStyles #DomesticTravel #Tokyo #TokyoTourism #Kyu-ShibaRikyuGardens #Hamamatsucho #HiddenGems #JapaneseGardens #Gardens #Tourism

The Kyu-Shiba Rikyu Garden is a metropolitan garden located on the coast of Minato-ku, Tokyo, and is located just a 1-minute walk from Hamamatsucho Station. It started as the garden Rakujuen at the former feudal lord Okubo Tadatomo's residence, and after being managed by the Imperial Household Agency, it was donated to the city of Tokyo in 1924 and opened to the public as the Kyu-Shiba Rikyu Garden. I went here in early April, which was the season when you can see a lot of cherry blossoms 🌸. My company was near Hamamatsucho Station, so I went there during my lunch break on a weekday, and there were not many people, so I was able to enjoy my time alone. There were also turtles and ducks by the river. I think it's a good place to bring your children with you! ! I also remember that bringing food outside was prohibited, so if you are planning to go, please be careful. #Kyu-Shiba Rikyu Garden #Hamamatsucho Station ##777

This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho Building, a new building located between Hamamatsucho Station and Takeshiba Pier. There is a multi-tiered terrace on the side of the building, which is said to be one of the New Eight Views of Takeshiba. Since it was the season when we visited, there was a large Christmas tree inside the building and beautiful illuminations outside. #Illuminations #Christmas #TokyoTourism

Of the nine gardens in Tokyo, Shiba Rikyu is closer to the city center and more compact. Its size is perfect for walking around without getting tired. We enjoyed not only seasonal flowers but also animal observation. We went on a nice day, so there were many turtles sunning their shells in the pond. The ducks sitting near the irises became a popular photo spot. Admission is also reasonable at 150 yen for adults. #JapaneseGarden #KyuShibaRikyuOnshiTeien

This garden was built in the early Edo period as the upper residence of the senior councilor Okubo Tadatomo and was named "Rakujuen". Later, in the Meiji period, it became the property of the Arisugawa family, and was further purchased by the Imperial Household Ministry and became "Shiba Rikyu". It was damaged in the Great Kanto Earthquake, but was bestowed upon the city of Tokyo in commemoration of the marriage of Emperor Showa, and has been open to the public since 1924 (Taisho 13).

Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden, located in the heart of Tokyo, is a beautiful spot that combines nature and history. Originally a shogun's garden during the Edo period, it later became an imperial gift. The garden features exquisite ponds, artificial hills, and a variety of plants, making visitors feel as if they are embraced by nature. The most distinctive feature is the ancient tea house, which is full of traditional Japanese charm. Visitors can stroll along the garden paths, experiencing tranquility and harmony, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is not only a great place to relax but also a valuable opportunity to learn about Japanese garden art.

#June Travel Support Event Purchased an annual passport for 4,000 yen to enjoy 9 gardens in the prefecture for a year and entered. The small garden surrounded by tall buildings gave off a grand feeling. Although it is smaller than Hamarikyu Garden, I think it has a more charming atmosphere. I look forward to seeing different scenery each season.

The light festival at Shiba Rikyu was interesting.

#thingstodo Gorgeous example of an Edo period clan garden. It was originally part of Tokyo Bay with beach access (there is still a plaque commemorating the emperor gazing into the Bay). The park is fairly large at about 10 ⅓ acres, with almost an acre of that consumed by the central pond. You can see carp, egrets and ducks. Entry was ¥150 and you are able to borrow stunning Japanese style umbrellas to ward off the heat.

#PR #TokyoTourism Kyu-Shiba-Rikyu Gardens I came to visit Shiba-Rikyu, an oasis in the city✨ I was surprised that it was so close, just a minute's walk from JR Hamamatsucho Station. The main street was noisy with many people and cars... I wondered if it would be okay, but I arrived at the park! As soon as I entered through the entrance a little ways back from the street, the hustle and bustle of the office buildings became quiet as if it were a lie. The gentle sounds of the wind, the cries of waterfowl, and the breeze were pleasant, and it felt like I was on a trip. Kyu-Shiba-Rikyu Gardens is one of the daimyo gardens that still remain in Tokyo, and was bestowed to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in the Taisho era to commemorate the marriage of the Crown Prince, and is now open to the public. It's a very historic park! The admission fee is 150 yen for adults. 70 yen for those over 65. ...Too cheap🤔 The scenery changes with each season, so it's a park I'd like to visit every month!
