[Kiyosumi Garden in Tokyo/Kiyosumi] Experience the Beauty of Edo Atmosphere and Japanese Gardens

Kiyosumi Garden's charm lies in offering a serene and refined healing space in the heart of the city that conveys the Edo atmosphere and the beauty of Japanese gardens to the present day.

Located in Koto Ward, Tokyo, Kiyosumi Garden is a prime example of a pond-strolling garden. At the center of the garden is a spacious pond (spring water), around which you can stroll along paths and fully enjoy the seasonal nature and garden beauty. The pond features a "stone garden" skillfully arranged with various large and small stones, with a collection of quality and quantity that is among the best in Japanese gardens. It exudes a profound atmosphere that harmonizes the dignity of a daimyo garden with the tastes of the Meiji era.

Especially impressive are the picturesque scenes everywhere—from the pines and seasonal flowers reflected on the water surface, to the stone bridges and the intricately designed "Ryotei" pavilion. The leisurely swimming koi and waterfowl, along with the occasional calls of wild birds, quietly resonate, allowing you to experience tranquility and peace that soothe the heart even in the city center. Throughout the seasons, you can enjoy cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, autumn leaves, and the garden’s exceptional beauty when covered in snow.

Additionally, it is attractive as a spot where you can feel history and culture, with famous stones collected by the wealthy Iwasaki family and buildings showcasing historical designs scattered throughout the garden. The spirit of valuing authenticity and the chicness of Edo are inherited throughout.

Access is convenient, just a short walk from Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station. It is perfect not only for sightseeing but also for a little daily refreshment or a stroll.

Kiyosumi Garden is a special place to escape the city's hustle and bustle, savor the delicate beauty of a Japanese garden, and calm your mind and body. It is a renowned garden highly recommended for those who want to feel genuine Japanese atmosphere and tranquility.
