Hama-Rikyu Gardens
The Hama-Rikyu Gardens, also called “Hama Goten” during the Edo period, were originally the location of a villa owned by the Tokugawa Shogunate, but later on it was converted into the imperial villa. In 1945, it was bequeathed to the city of Tokyo and then opened to the public.
The moment you walk in, it's so peaceful. It's a huge contrast to the busy Tokyo city outside. The mix of tall buildings and the traditional Japanese garden is really unique.
