[Tokyo/Mejiro] Well-maintained Garden Mejiro Garden

Located in the quiet residential area of Mejiro, the charm of "Mejiro Garden" lies in its serene atmosphere isolated from the city's hustle and bustle, and its beautiful scenery condensed with traditional Japanese aesthetics, right in the heart of the city. Although it is not a vast garden, within its limited space, a pond, waterfall, tea house, and seasonal plants are skillfully arranged, offering visitors a peaceful moment—a true hidden oasis in the city.

The garden's greatest attraction is its stroll-style layout centered around the pond. Walking slowly around the pond where the "Hexagonal Ukimidō" floats in the center of the garden, you will see different landscapes appear one after another as your perspective changes. The pure flow of the waterfall, the koi swimming in the pond, and the reflection of the green trees and sky on the water's surface soothe the hearts of visitors. It offers a calm time that makes you forget you are in the middle of the city.

Adding to the garden's charm is the beautiful scenery woven by Japan's four seasons. In spring, cherry blossoms and fresh greenery sprout; in summer, the deep green trees bring coolness. In autumn, maples and momiji turn vivid red, transforming the entire garden into a brocade picture scroll. Especially at night, the garden is illuminated, enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere different from daytime. In winter, the garden dressed in snow shows a different kind of beauty.

Inside the garden is a sukiya-style tea house called "Akachōan," where you can enjoy matcha while gazing at the garden. Experiencing traditional Japanese culture in the quietly flowing time is a special experience unique to this garden. Its convenient location, close to Mejiro Station, is also one of its attractions.

Mejiro Garden is not just a park but a living work of art condensed with Japanese garden aesthetics. When you want to take a break from the city's busyness and immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of nature, or when you want to quietly reflect on yourself, why not visit this special place?
