Hamarikyu Gardens is a classic Edo-period landscape garden bordering Tokyo Bay, originally laid out as a hunting retreat for the Tokugawa shoguns. Its defining feature is the Shioiri tidal pond, where seawater levels rise and fall with the bay tides. The striking visual contrast between 300-year-old pine trees, wooden teahouse pavilions set on the water, and gleaming modern skyscrapers of Shiodome forms an iconic Tokyo landscape.
Highlights
- Unique tidal pond whose water level fluctuates with Tokyo Bay tides
- Atmospheric Nakajima wooden teahouse set on bridges over the water
- Revered 300-year-old black pine planted by the sixth Tokugawa shogun
- Striking visual juxtaposition of Edo landscaping and Shiodome skyscrapers
