Rikugien Garden (六義園) has to be one of our favourite Japanese gardens in Tokyo. It’s got it all; cherry blossoms, autumn colors, a reasonably priced tea house, stunning lake and lots of interesting paths to take.
Budget travel tips
-
Sakura Hot Spring is a 5 minute walk away, so it’s best to combine the two.
