[Viewing Fall Foliage in Tokyo] Classical Gardens Are Waiting for You!

Koishikawa Korakuen is located in Koishikawa-cho, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, covering an area of ​​70,847 square meters. It is a famous samurai garden in the Edo period. In 1665, under the guidance of Zhu Shunshui, the garden was renovated and expanded. The project was completed in 1668. The garden was named Korakuen, based on a famous quote from Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower Inscription in the Northern Song Dynasty, as proposed by Zhu Shunshui. The biggest feature of Koishikawa Korakuen is its imitation scenery, which not only imitates famous scenery in Japan, but also that in China. ⛺: The entire Koishikawa Korakuen is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. It is a rare "pure land" in the bustling city. Most Japanese gardens are characterized by being small and exquisite, and rarely have pastoral landscapes added, but Korakuen does have farmland landscapes: rice fields, iris fields, wisteria trellises... Walking among them, it feels like returning to a country road, and your heart can't help but relax slowly. There are not only tourists coming from afar, but also many office workers in suits who come here to relax during their breaks from work. They sat on chairs beside the pool, staring at the beautiful scenery in the pool in a trance. It seemed that while enjoying a moment of tranquility, they also felt the significance of the coexistence of "tradition and modernity". 🧡【Transportation tips】: It takes only 3 minutes on foot from Iidabashi Station on the Toei Oedo Line to the west gate of Koishikawa Korakuen.
