About

Koishikawa-Kōrakuen is one of Tokyo's oldest and most beautiful Japanese gardens, located in the Bunkyō ward of the city. Established in 1629 during the early Edo period, the garden was constructed under the guidance of Tokugawa Yorifusa, the founder of the Mito branch of the Tokugawa clan, and completed by his son Tokugawa Mitsukuni. The garden's design was influenced by both Chinese and Japanese landscaping techniques, creating a harmonious blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy picturesque ponds, winding pathways, stone bridges, and seasonal flora, making it a tranquil escape from the bustling city.
