Former Yasuda Garden in Tokyo

Tokyo

Visited date : 2023/Dec/10 Sunday 10:30am

Duration : 30 minutes

Location : Near Ryogoku station

Note : It’s open 9am, close 6pm (on summer 7:30pm). After 4:30pm some place will be closed.

When entering Former Yasuda Garden we are greeted by a traditional gate. On Sunday morning there were some families walking around as well as people who are taking a wedding photo. I heard they were talking in a foreign language. It makes me happy to see people who choose Japan for their wedding photos.

This kind of traditional garden could be great places for memorial photo as well.

What’s this place like?

This is a traditional Japanese garden, you can fairly see them in many different places around Japan. People from other countries often think this kind of garden are only to a specific location, but I think you might be able to find them anywhere around Japan. I recommend checking Google Maps, you might find one close by.

Atmosphere

It’s more beautiful than I thought, the autumn leaves they change their color but this year has not been as good as compared with other years. Many bright red or yellow trees can be found here. I feel very fortunate to have a chance to see them.

The red leaves are MOMIJI. If you’ve visited Hiroshima I think you might know Momiji Manju. The inside is made from sweet of red beans and it’s shape is from Momiji leave.

In addition there is a pond in the garden. Occasionally Koi which is Japanese carp swim there, I didn’t see this time here, instead I saw some kind of duck swimming in the pond.

Good to know

The gravel path is very well thought out and easy to cross. This is great for families with strollers that come visit the garden. There are also some benches here, most people don’t use them so there shouldn’t be any issues if you want to rest for a bit.

Viewing TOKYO SKYTREE with Momiji together is quite unique and excellent place for pictures. Surprisingly this is a great place to go that most tourist don’t think about, I’m sure you will enjoy your visit here.
