The Ninomaru Japanese Garden (★★★★☆)
The inner Ninomaru Garden is a refined example of Japanese landscaping, originally dating back to the Edo period but beautifully restored. It’s a quiet, scenic area featuring a large pond and surrounding groves. Look out for the Symbolic Prefectural Trees, which showcase trees donated from all over Japan, representing the nation's diverse flora. It’s a beautifully sheltered spot that feels a world away from the surrounding high-energy city.
