On hearing the word "Tokyo", what do you associate with it? You'll think of skyscrapers, electric shops in Akihabara, Tokyo Tower, busy businessmen, or traffic jam. Please add " beautiful wide garden" in your list from now on.There is one of the famous beautiful garden called "Hama Rikyu Garden" in Shimbashi-Shiodome business district. This was originally constructed in 1654 for 4th Tokugawa shogun's brother, and opened in 1946 to people after repeating damage and repair.
We can enjoy greenery and flowers of season in the garden; now it's the best season for cherry blossom viewing. You also find a rape flower field in spring, cosmos field in autumn.
When you look up the top of pine trees, you'll see the high-rise buildings together around the gardens; you can experience current metropolitan Tokyo and traditional "Edo", which Tokyo was once called. It's like time traveling!
