Café Kokun is a mysterious coffee shop in the alley next to Kiyosumi Garden. Not only is its location hidden, but its appearance is so low-key that people hesitate before pushing the door open. You need to change into slippers before entering the store. The store is a small, dark wooden space filled with European-style ornaments and a whole wall of coffee cups. In the quiet atmosphere, it feels like you have entered Ghibli's magical house. You can tell the owner loves cats, as he hangs many paintings of cats. The cats stare at you with lifelike eyes, as if they are about to walk out of the paintings. I ordered iced coffee and fig cheese cake. The cheese was very rich and filling. The space inside the store is very small and there are not many seats. I don’t know if the second floor above the stairs is open, otherwise it must be another magical attic space. Café Kokun is very different from the other hipster coffee shops in Kiyosumi Shirakawa. It has its own unique persistence and style. Just like the owner, she really is like a witch from another world.

#清澄庭園 One of the nine major gardens in Tokyo, it is located in the quiet Kiyosumi Shirakawa River. After drinking coffee at Blue Bottle, you can take a walk in this Japanese garden. It is very quiet and comfortable. Most of the tourists here are European and American tourists and local Japanese. The ticket price is very affordable at ¥150. It was originally the residence of a wealthy merchant in the Edo period. It was later purchased and rebuilt by Yataro Iwasaki, who drew a large amount of spring water from the Sumida River and surrounded it with famous stones ordered from all over the country, forming the representative "Circular Forest Spring Garden" of Meiji Garden, which is a landscaping technique based on springs, rockery, and dry landscape. The beauty of the famous rocks, the seclusion of the garden, and the small and exquisiteness are the most attractive features of the Kiyosumi Garden. You can also overlook the Tokyo Skytree in the distance. It is a great place to relax and look at the turtles and koi in the pond. Many families bring their children here to have fun and take pictures. #日本探店 #东京景点

Kiyosumi Gardens is located in Kiyosumi Shirakawa, which has a strong downtown atmosphere. It is a strolling forest and spring garden with springs, rockery and dry landscape as the main body. The garden is full of Japanese style and is a great place for a walk. After visiting Rikugien Gardens, Koishikawa Korakuen, Hama-rikyu Gardens, and Kyu-Furukawa Gardens, I am about to head to the fifth of Tokyo’s nine gardens! That is the "Kiyosumi Garden" located in Kiyosumi Shirakawa. If you come to Kiyosumi Shirakawa for a walk, I really recommend visiting this park. Although it is not as famous as several other famous gardens, it has fewer crowds and it has a more leisurely atmosphere of a Japanese garden! Kiyosumi Gardens is located a 3-minute walk from Exit A3 of the Hanzomon Line and Toei Oedo Line's Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station, making transportation very convenient. If you come during the cherry blossom season, you will pass by Honshiji Temple on the way to the entrance of Kiyosumi Gardens. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom on the day we visited, so beautiful that we stayed there for so long that we forgot we were going to the gardens. #Tokyo #Japanese Garden #walk #LeisureLife

Rather than "a row of trees with autumn leaves," the autumn foliage can be enjoyed together with the surrounding green trees and pond. Because I visit once every few months outside of the autumn foliage season, I can really feel the change of the seasons. The autumn leaves reflected on the water's surface are very beautiful, and the leaves that have fallen onto the water and gathered at the edge of the pond, creating a colorful scene, are also beautiful. #2021c#autumnfoliage

Today, my spiritual journey will take me to Kiyosumi Gardens and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden to experience the beauty and wonder of nature. 🚶♂️ In the morning, I came to Kiyosumi Garden. This Japanese garden's design reflects the architectural aesthetics of the Meiji era and is surrounded by a lush pond filled with fish and turtles. Walking on the stone path, it feels like entering a small dry landscape world. The most attractive thing is the Sukiya-zukuri building that seems to float on the water, which contrasts beautifully with the Little Mount Fuji. Whether you are walking through the sea of ​​azaleas in spring or the tranquil scenery in autumn and winter, you can't help but marvel! 🌺🐢 As the sun set, I took the subway to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. This was once the residence of the Naito family, and now it has become a green national park in Tokyo. When I entered the garden, I was instantly attracted by the diverse plants. Whether it was the cherry blossoms, red leaves, or the elegant shapes of the Japanese garden, they all shocked my soul. 🌸🍁 The shadows of the trees sway, and the calm water of the pool reflects the color of the blue sky. Enjoy this moment of tranquility with other tourists, and it feels like all the hustle and bustle of the world seems to disappear here.

#TokyoItinerary During the three days in Tokyo, I planned a leisurely walking trip for myself. I just wanted to slow down, stroll around, find a place to have a cup of coffee, and enjoy the rare relaxing time ☕️ So I came to Kiyosumi Gardens, and then went to the nearby Blue Bottle Coffee Shop. This trip was really healing! The Qingcheng Courtyard is not very large, but precisely because of this, it is less crowded and appears particularly quiet and peaceful. Walking into the courtyard, it seems as if you are suddenly isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional chirping of birds. I walked slowly along the path, admiring the carefully trimmed green plants, quaint Japanese buildings and lively pond in the courtyard. When I get tired of walking, I find a bench to sit down, close my eyes, take a deep breath of the fresh air, feel the sunshine gently falling on my body, the warmth seeping from my skin into my heart, and my whole body relaxes. After coming out of Kiyosumi Garden, the Blue Bottle Coffee Shop is not far away. As you walk into the store, the familiar aroma of coffee instantly lingers around your nose. Order a latte, find a seat by the window, watch the people coming and going on the street outside the window, and reminisce the good times just spent in the courtyard. This is probably the meaning of travel, to encounter a long-lost tranquility and beauty in an unfamiliar place. I sincerely recommend that you come here when you come to Tokyo to experience the unique comfort of Kiyosumi Garden. #Japan #JapanTravel #Garden #TokyoLife #KiyosumiGarden #BlueBottleCoffee

#TokyoItinerary Kiyosumi Teien, located in Koto-ku, Tokyo, is a classic Japanese garden famous for its unique landscape design and leisurely walking trails. The garden features a large pond dotted with boulders and graceful trees collected from all over Japan. This was originally the residence of a wealthy merchant in the Edo period. It was later redesigned by Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the Mitsubishi Group, during the Meiji period and opened to the public. The beauty of nature and humanity 🌳✨ The centerpiece of the Kiyosumi Gardens is its beautiful Dai-sensui, a large central pond with islands and stone bridges where visitors can stroll around the pond and admire the trees and sky reflected in the water. The paths here are ingeniously designed, especially the "Isowatari", which are stepping stones laid in the shallow water of the pond, allowing visitors to admire the carp and turtles in the water up close, adding a lot of interest to this garden. The best viewing spot for all seasons🌸🍂 No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, Kiyosumi Garden attracts many tourists with its unique natural scenery.

#JuneTravelSupportEvent It's a Japanese garden of a reasonable size. I went there with my family in the spring, and the cherry blossoms were incredibly pretty. The air was good, and there were fish, so my family had fun. I want to go again. Anyway, it was cozy and nice. I highly recommend it for a family trip!^^
