Koisikawa Korakuen Garden
Description:
Koishikawa Korakuen Garden is the oldest landscaped Japanese garden in Tokyo.
Its construction began in 1629 under the shogun Tokugawa Yerifus and was completed under his successor.
The garden in miniature reproduces Japanese and Chinese landscapes, using ponds, stones, plants and creating artificial hills. Thus, walking through the park, you can visit the sacred Mount Fujiyama, the temple of Kiyomizu-dera, as well as the famous Western Lake in China.
The garden is especially attractive in the second half of November during leaffall, in February, when the Plum Festival is held, and in April during cherry blossoms.
