The Edo daimyo garden reflects the bright and easy-going atmosphere of the Genroku era. The autumn leaves of the representative garden “Rikugien” are in full bloom.
If you enter counterclockwise from the main gate, you will find the inner garden Daimon. I would like you to enjoy the magnificent view that spreads beyond this gate.
Beautiful autumn leaves illuminated by light
Takimi Chaya
A mountain stream runs beside Azumaya. The area behind it has a calm atmosphere where the light does not reach.
Horai Island
It is an island of cave stonework (arch shape). This is a kind of stone set with the theme of Shinsen thought.
Take a break at Fukiage Chaya overlooking the garden
There is a set of matcha that you can enjoy seasonal sweets. (700 yen / tax included)
This time, I had a refreshing scent of yuzu.
Togetsukyo
In 1965, Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa himself designed and instructed him, dug a large pond in the center, built a mountain, and spent seven years building this strolling artificial hill spring water garden.
There are several things to see, but the most recommended one is Togetsukyo.
The view from the outside to the inside of the pond is lit by the sun and the trees shine beautifully. You can also enjoy the appearance of a flock of ducks at the bridge. It’s a spot that makes you feel like you’re in a scene from a story.
It was a wonderful garden where you can enjoy various expressions over time. Please visit “Rikugien Garden” by all means.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
