Kenrokuen is one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, with scenery that has its own character in every season. The garden design is refined and elegant.
As you stroll through, you can enjoy the beauty of the ponds, old pine trees, and teahouses, and really take in the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese garden. It’s wonderfully refreshing.

Kokyo Gaien National Garden
This park is located in the area outside the Main Gate to Japan’s Imperial Palace. At the center is the Garden Plaza, where green lawns are dotted with about 2,000 black Kuromatsu pine trees.
Kokyo Gaien National Garden is a rare large green space in central Tokyo. Its expansive lawns, neatly arranged pine trees, and views of the moat complement one another, creating an especially relaxing atmosphere. While strolling through the grounds, you can admire the famous Nijubashi Bridge and experience the dignified yet peaceful atmosphere surrounding the Imperial Palace.

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is the symbol of Kamakura, located in the heart of the city. It is frequented by many worshipers as a shrine related to Minamoto no Yorimoto, the founder of the Kamakura shogunate. The current main shrine, which was built in 1828, has been designated as an Important Cultural Asset of Japan.
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu is Kamakura's most iconic shrine. As soon as you enter the grounds, you can feel the solemn and peaceful atmosphere. Strolling along the approach, you'll see lush greenery on both sides, and after climbing the stone steps, you can look out over the entire shrine, which feels especially relaxing. I particularly liked the strong sense of history and culture here. After visiting the shrine, you can browse the shops and enjoy some food on nearby Komachi Street. It's a relaxing and fulfilling stop that shouldn't be missed on a day trip to Kamakura.

Seirogan
Seirogan is a gastrointestinal medication that has been a staple in Japanese households for over 100 years. Its main active ingredient, the herbal medicine (a natural plant with medicinal properties) and Japanese pharmacopoeia “JP wood creosote” helps to adjust the water balance in the intestines without disrupting intestinal movement.
Seirogan is a household medicine that many people pick up when traveling in Japan. It's mainly used to relieve diarrhea and stomach discomfort caused by indigestion. Although it has a very strong, distinctive smell as soon as you open it, many people have long trusted its effectiveness.
