We were lucky enough to find out about their autumn illumination event. We bought tickets ahead of time. What a delightful experience! They had little food stalls, projection mapping, plenty of seating, and of course beautiful up-lit momiji trees. It was mostly local residents enjoying the event. One of my favorite memories from my trip!

Nice and quiet small park in the middle of Tokyo. For those who are looking for a brief getaway from city vibe, this place is the go-to. The park was very beautiful, and well maintained. There was a small lake in the middle with a few bridges and brooks in the park that creates a great contrast with plants. We came in Autumn so the foliage is really mesmerising.

Rikugien Gardens is a truly peaceful escape, offering a beautifully preserved, classical Japanese landscape. Despite being very close to the bustling city, it feels worlds away. The grounds are impeccably clean and offer stunning views, especially around the central pond. It’s a serene, refreshing visit I highly recommend for anyone seeking tranquility in Tokyo.

One of our favorite gardens in Tokyo and always worth a visit. Beautiful fall colors in November. It was a bit crowded on a weekday as everyone appeared to be excited to see colors. Illuminations start later in week and will probably be spectacular.

Beautiful garden! It’s full of history for visitors to explore. With leaves changing colour there are lots of spots to take pictures. Many trails around the pond and around the perimeter. Can readily spend 2+ hours here.
