Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Garden

Filed under: Places to see in Tokyo — tokyoevents @ 10:44 am

This garden is another classic pond centered Japanese garden. The garden dates from the Edo period. During the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, fires destroyed the entire garden. The garden was restored the following year to commemorate the beginning of the Showa Emporer.

The garden is nestled alongside the Shinkansen line and surrounded by the office towers of Hamamatsu-cho and Shinbashi.
