information |
Rikugien is one of Tokyo's most beautiful, Japanese style landscape gardens. Built around 1700 by Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, Rikugien literally means "six poems garden" and reproduces in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems.
Rikugien is quite a spacious garden with a central pond, islands, forested areas, man made hills and several teahouses. It takes about an hour to cover the garden's whole network of walking paths at a leisurely speed.
