Hotel Chinzan-so Tokyo Garden

Lush Forests and Natural Waterfalls: A Verdant Healing Spot While Shinjuku Gyoen gives off the vibe of a 'park,' the Chinzan-so Garden feels more like a well-preserved 'mountain forest.' The garden is incredibly lush, with numerous hills and stairs that make it feel like a small mountain hike. Thanks to this terrain, the garden's layout is dynamic and far from monotonous, with deep greenery and shaded areas wherever you look. Particularly striking is the natural waterfall at the center of the garden, accompanied by a clear stream that flows around it, breathing life into the surroundings. The arrangement of rocks and the flow of water around the waterfall reflect the aesthetics of a Japanese garden, striving for natural beauty rather than artificiality. Walking along the paths while listening to the sound of the waterfall provides a refreshing experience, even on hot summer days, offering a moment of complete tranquility. The garden is home to countless trees and mosses that have grown lushly over the years, with ancient trees that are hundreds of years old adding to its grandeur. If you're looking to escape the bustling city and immerse yourself in the sounds of nature while taking a deep breath, the dense forest of Chinzan-so Garden is the perfect place. For those who prefer dynamic natural beauty and the serenity of a forest over the neatness of a central pond, this garden is an ideal choice.
