HAMARIKYU GARDENS

Hamarikyu Gardens (浜離宮恩賜庭園, Hama-rikyū Onshi Teien) is a public park in Tokyo, Japan. Located at the mouth of the Sumida River in Chuo-ku, it was opened April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 mē landscaped garden surrounded by Shioiri Pond, a sea water moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodelled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.

Visitors can also enjoy refreshment at a teashop in Nakashima located in the middle of the pond in the garden that offers macha and Japanese sweets in a Japanese tea ceremony style. A peony garden, plum tree grove and cosmos fields render flowers and greenery enjoyable in every season. Exhibitions falcon and Japanese goshawk traditional hunting techniques are demonstrated daily.
