The elegance of a Japanese garden and the Zen atmosphere are wonderful here. The pond in the garden uses seawater from the tides, which is really unique. Even though it's surrounded by skyscrapers, it's a peaceful hideaway—definitely worth a visit.

Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan
Built in 1921 and used as a campus for Jiyu Gakuen, until moving in 1934. It was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who also designed the Imperial Hotel. This building is known as a fine example of modern architecture, and is a designated national important Cultural Property.
Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan offers guided tours, so visitors can get a deeper understanding of the building's design concepts and historical background.

Laview
“Laview” is the express train that hit the rails as of 2019 on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, connecting Ikebukuro and Seibu Chichibu Stations in just 77 minutes. Hop on for an easy day trip to the Chichibu area with plenty of time make it back to central Tokyo on the same day, making it the savvy way to zip up and explore Chichibu on the fly.
The modern design features large windows in every car, giving passengers wide views to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

HANA・BIYORI
HANA・BIYORI is the new-concept flower park and destination next to Yomiuriland amusement park, replete with serene spaces to consider a greener earth and our place on earth hugged by seasonal flowers and plants. Popular highlights to see include the HANA・BIYORI Pavilion, where you can marvel at Japan’s largest collection of over 300 hanging flower chandeliers and colorful floral walls, the vibrant Seasonal Flower Path, and the PIET OUDOLF GARDEN TOKYO, designed by a world-renowned garden designer.
They treat flowers like works of art here, and the new tech performances totally changed my idea of what a botanical garden can be.
