Koishikawa Kōrakuen

Koishikawa Kōrakuen is a wonderful traditional Japanese garden with artificial hills and ponds that dates back to 1629. Construction was started during the early Edo Period by Tokugawa Yorifusa who was the feudal lord of the Mito clan. It was completed by his successor, Tokugawa Mitsukuni. "Kōraku" means enjoying afterwards and "en" means garden. The idea of "enjoying afterwords" refers to a Chinese teaching that, a governor should worry before people and enjoy after people. For access: the nearest stations are Iidabashi or Kōrakuen Station. General admission is 300 yen.
