Sitting on the Tokyo
Bay waterfront in
the shadow of the
skyscrapers of Shio-
dome, this massive
garden was once part
of a shogun's villa,
with two ponds that
were used for wild-
duck hunting. It
contains the only
tidal pond in Tokyo,
with a lock that
controls seawater
entering from Tokyo
Bay.

In the middle of the
tidal pond is an
island with a re-
stored teahouse;
other highlights are
a grove of plum
trees, a 300-year-
old pine tree, and
two huge flower
gardens. The peony
garden has 800
plants and 60 dif-
ferent varieties of
peonies.

Hama-Rikyu can be
reached by boat from
Asakusa, or by foot
from Shiodome,
Tsukiji-Shijo or
Shimbashi stations.
