Hama Rikyu Gardens

Hama Rikyu Gardens The Hama Rikyu Gardens are a beautiful Edo style garden surrounded by skyscrapers from the futuristic Shiodome business area.

Formerly the personal hunting ground of the Tokygawa shoguns, the gardens are now a haven for ducks, herons and cranes.

In the middle of the main pond is a teahouse that offers Japanese tea and sweets in traditional tea-ceremony style.

A peony garden, plum tree grove and cosmos fields have flowers for every season.
