Create an itinerary including Ninomaru Garden

A peaceful oasis in the midst of downtown Tokyo, Ninomaru Garden offers a quiet break from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Created in 1968, the garden has a historic significance as well. Walk the narrow, winding paths searching for the remains of castle walls, moats, and gates, while enjoying the sights and scents of seasonal flowers--azaleas in spring, irises in summer, and camellias in winter. The pond with slowly-swimming long-finned koi fish attracts photography enthusiasts, especially during Sakura (cherry blossom) season. If you get thirsty, stop by the tea house.

This is a big place! This visit was in July, so it was HOT, but there were lots of places to get out of the sun. I enjoyed walking around and seeing the manicured trees and shrubs.

Absolutely stunning gardens on the east side of the Imperial Palace gardens. Perfectly maintained, flora delicately groomed with love and attention. The koi pond with a quaint but sturdy bridge running across it being a highlight. Small bamboo forest. Groves with streams. All bringing peace in the middle of the city.
