Koishikawa Gardens and Teahouse
One of Tokyo’s most beautiful and traditional Edo period gardens that lays adjacent to Tokyo Dome. The garden dates back to 1629. Throughout history, it has undergone renovations but still remains an authentic nod to the past and the age of the Samurai and old Japan.
Only 11 minutes on the train from Shinjuku station, and a short 5 minute walk to the garden from Iidabashi station, its convenient location makes it an easy activity to add to your itinerary. The garden has many traditional features such as bridges, cherry blossoms, ponds, rocks and a teahouse. At the teahouse, you can enjoy matcha and wagashi sweet sets for 850 yen whilst looking out at the beautiful scenery of the garden. You may even see some resident Heron relaxing and feeding in the garden during your visit. It is an absolute must visit to escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo during your trip.
During Cherry Blossom season, the garden has many blossom trees that visitors can enjoy. Some of the blossom lay adjacent to the garden’s large ponds and make for a pretty sight with the reflection of the trees and blossom in the water. It is much quieter than Shinjuku Gyoen, so we highly recommend coming here to see Cherry Blossom if you’re visiting in April or May. The garden is also well known for its Autumn leaves. You can enjoy red and golden leaves here throughout late October and November. The garden is 300 yen to enter, and is open all week.
