Restaurants in Tokyo with a garden view 2023/2/19 19:46
Hi…we are staying near Kanda Station and wanting restaurants that have a view of a garden, waterfall etc to have lunch or dinner and not too expensive. Or any unique restaurants in Tokyo? Will be staying for a week.

Any advice appreciated….

There is a tea pavilion in Hamarikyu garden. You can’t have lunch/dinner but a green tea and Japanese sweet in tge middle if a japanese garden.

Otherwise you could consider picknick in many different gardens, eg Hamarikyu, Shinjuku Gyoen, Ueno park… just buy a bento in a shop closeby and a vinyl sheet at a 100 yen shop.

For more unique restaurants with a view try some restaurants on the top flooor of skyscrapers. I know the ones around Shiodome but there are many others.

Lunch will always be cheaper than dinner.

For restaurant in a garden I now remember one in Hibiya Koen. I don’t remember if I ever went, but it looks fancy.

A cheap and fun place to eat in a park is this simple snack bar in Wadabori park:

Musashinoen
+81 3-3312-2723

But for a tourist a bit hard to reach and I think there is nothing touristy interesting around there either. (But for me Wadabori is the best park in Tokyo)

I am sure there are more. Maybe look for a park in an area where you’ll be anyway and have a look on google maps if there is a restaurant in it.
Just remembered a restaurant in Rikugien garden. I think it was a soba place. Rikugien anyway is a very nice garden.

Regarding waterfalls nothing comes to mind. Not sure if there is any waterfall in Tokyo city at all.

I forgot a really nice cafe (not restaurant though) in the garden of Nezu museum, which in itself is a superb museum with garden.

And the rest area (free tea) at the Idemitsu museum has a superb view of the royal palace gardens.

As for the hotel restaurant, I want to go to Chinzanso, but I haven't been able to go yet.
I want to see the garden where Aritomo Yamagata lived and the event (?) Tokyo Sea of Clouds. Aritomo Yamagata is a former Prime Minister known for his love of gardens.

If you use the restaurant, you can see the garden.
The price may be a little high.
Higo Hosokawa Garden and Tokyo Cathedral St. Mary's Cathedral are also nearby.
New Otani has waterfalls.
Restaurants where you can dine while looking at the waterfall may be more expensive.
I've been to the observatory restaurant on the top before.

It's not a garden, but I like Canal Cafe because I can relax.

Shinjuku Gyoen is also reasonably priced and recommended. There seems to be a restaurant (like a picnic on a sunny day).

I also like the Teien Art Museum.

Thank you so much for your valuable information. It was much appreciated.

Have booked the Canal Cafe as that is exactly the view I was seeking ie either a garden or water.
