Rikugi-en Gardens in Tokyo, Japan, is a stunning example of traditional Japanese landscape gardening from the Edo period. Established in 1702 by Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu, a trusted samurai of the fifth shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the garden's name translates to "Six Poems Garden," reflecting its design based on principles of waka poetry. The garden features a large central pond, picturesque walking trails, man-made hills, and carefully arranged trees and plants, creating a serene and picturesque environment.
