Rikugien Garden
Rikugien Garden is a strolling, hill-and-pond garden with an undulating landscape, created over seven years beginning in 1695. Designated a Special Place of Scenic Beauty by the Japanese government, it is considered one of the two great gardens of Edo alongside Koishikawa Korakuen Garden.
Cherry blossom viewing here is nice, but it gets way too crowded, so it's hard to really enjoy the scenery.
