Hama-rikyu Gardens

The Hama-rikyu Gardens, which belonged to the ruling Tokugawa family during the Edo period, feature a tidal pond and two former wild duck-hunting sites. The Shiori-no-ike (tidal pond) has a coastal garden style in which seawater is drawn in and the pond's landscape changes with the tides' ebb and flow. It's the only such pond among the remaining Edo-period gardens in Tokyo. The garden contains black pines, camellias, sakura (cherry blossoms), and irises, treating visitors to changing scenery throughout the seasons. There's also a teahouse where you can enjoy Japanese sweets and matcha tea.
