Co-Existence of Skyscrapers and a Traditional Garden
Inside a modern landscape of towering skyscrapers in the distance, this is an isolated garden surrounded by pine trees and tea houses. There are numerous gardens within Tokyo; however, only at Hamarikyu Gardens can you witness this very particular sight.

Otsutai-Bashi and Nakajima-No-Ochaya (Bridge and Tea House)
Otsutai-Bashi, the bridge that connects the edge of the pond with Nakajima, the island in the pond is a representative sight of the park. The bridge and tea house reflected on the water surface is picturesque. In the tea house on the island, matcha (green tea) and Japanese sweets can be ordered. It is an exceptional experience to have a cup of tea while enjoying the beautiful view of the garden.

Autumn Leaves
As the leaves turn red and yellow in autumn, the beautiful changing colors of the maples and wax trees standing around the pond can be seen. The best season is late November to early December. It is also recommended to enjoy the view of trees while resting in the tea house on the floating island when the tide is high.
