"Metropolitan Mirage Hamarikyu Gardens is a 250,165-square-meter landscaped garden built on the site of a 17th-century game reserve owned by the Tokugawa family and located adjacent to Tokyo Bay. The garden features a variety of native flora and fauna, including fields of gorgeous wildflowers, depending upon the season, and Japanese matsu pine trees, all set against the fascinating architectural backdrop of the Shiodome office complex skyline. There is also a traditional Japanese teahouse situated next to a large pond, which casts stunning reflections of the garden and the Tokyo skyline. Open year-round 9am-5pm, admission is 300 yen (150 yen for visitors 65 and older, free for children up to elementary-school age)."

One of the most beautiful parks I've seen in Tokyo. Well maintained with lots to see. It's relatively large and good for a walk or just sitting down to read a book. For those who like flowers there is an extremely beautiful area. Recommended place.

This is a beautiful garden in the middle of city. Amazing how calm it feels. 300 yen to enter or 400 yen to go here and another amazing park about 20 minutes away. If you visit parks in Tokyo these two are highly recommended. I have been in winter and late spring and both bring a little something different. Also a nice tea house inside park. Wisteria is amazingly old and in late January I believe some plum blossoms were blooming.

A little hidden gem inside the city and preserved nature. I was actually just walking around and saw this interesting area so I walked in. Discovered by chance and paid a little fee to enter. Beautiful little park to get away and clear your mind if you want something relaxing to do away from the city life.

After visiting Tsukiji Outer market we went for a stroll and ended up in these gardens without planning on visiting. We were surprised by the serenity of the garden in between the high rises of the city. It was nice to walk around and unwind a bit. It is a nice place to visit when you’re in the neighborhood. We visited Japan in April 2024.

Beautiful garden worth paying a visit (300 yens). There's several part to explore. I loved the flower garden and the tea house area. Such a peaceful place to chill. Very harmonious and well maintained.

Wonderful garden space in the Shiodome area that was near our hotel. After two weeks of traipsing about Japan, we needed a slower day and this was a perfect way to start it. It costed 300 yen per person for admission but there's lots to look at here including a pond, tea house, and some remnants of the old Edo period. We spent about 90 minutes here but you could easily spend longer.

It used to be an imperial garden, until the imperial family donated it to the country in 1945 to allow public access. It's large, and they close early enough with some paths being totally unlit and covered by foliage so we nearly got lost. But there's a nice tea house in the middle of the park (matcha wasn't good, but you're paying for the seat and the view anyway). ¥300 entry per pax for adults, and there's a stamp for all you collectors. Honestly it's decent but nowhere near my favourite garden even in Tokyo.

A wonderful garden with views over both the city and the sea. There were many butterflies in the flower garden with beautiful colours, and the tea house on the lake is also worth a visit. It costs 300 yen to enter and there is a stamp by the entrance for those that collect them.
