Rikugien (˜Z‹`‰€) is one of Tokyo's most beautiful, Japanese style landscape gardens. Built around 1700 by Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, Rikugien literally means "six poems garden" and reproduces in miniature 88 scenes from famous poems.

Rikugien is quite a spacious garden with a central pond, islands, forested areas, man made hills and several teahouses. It takes about an hour to cover the garden's whole network of walking paths at a leisurely speed.

Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum.

How to get there
The Someimon Gate of Rikugien is a few steps south of Komagome Station on the JR Yamanote Line or Namboku Subway Line.
