Rikugien: A Stroll Through History in Tokyo
Rikugien, a serene Edo-period strolling garden, offers a peaceful retreat from Tokyo's hustle. Built by Samurai Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu between 1695 and 1702, the garden originally featured 88 miniature views of famous landscapes. Today, 32 remain, symbolizing the six rules of Waka poetry. The garden feels intimate despite its size, perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying matcha tea in the tea house.
