Beautiful In the early Edo period (1603-1867), Tokugawa Mitsutomo (1625-1700), second lord of the Owari branch of the Tokugawa clan, established a vast residence called the Ōzone Shimoyashiki. After his death, the property was passed on to the families of his three retainers Naruse, Ishiko and Watanabe, until the Meiji Restoration of 1867, when ownership was returned to the Owari Tokugawa. In 1931, Tokugawa Yoshichika (1886-1976), 19th head of the Tokugawa family, decided that "the time had come to present the property to the community", and donated the land of 23,000 m2 and buildings to the City of Nagoya. Included in the donation were family treasures and the establishment of the Owari Tokugawa Reimeikai Foundation. The City opened the garden in 1932, and the foundation opened the art museum in 1935. The garden however was destroyed during World War II, leaving only the main gate intact. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the art museum in 1985, nationwide fundraising led by local economic organisations made possible extensive renovations and expansion of the museum. In 2004, aiming to unite many historical inheritances found in the region, the garden, a sanctuary of modern samurai culture representing Japan was built, along with a stroll-style pond to complete its atmosphere. To the south of the garden, the Hōsa Libraryhouses historical materials and documents connected with the Owari Tokugawa family. Access by public transport is by Morishita Station by the Seto line or Ōzone Station by the subway Meijo line.

I love this park so much that no guest of mine leaves Nagoya without visiting it & its adjoining museum. It is as exquisite as it is peaceful. It feels like you've entered a different world the moment you step in and there is something extra special every season that makes it an ideal place to visit at any time of the year. During my last visit however, things didn't go well at all, the reason it's lost a star: My guest and I got to garden at about 5PM when the museum closes and that gave us about 30 minutes to have a quick look. I showed her the waterfalls first, saving all those beautiful flowers for the end. They were the dessert. By the time we got there, at about 5:10, they had already started to cover them up. In the end we didn't see any of the flowers. Then some of the staff members were stood by the gate indirectly putting pressure on us to leave. This was so unpleasant and it was such a big face loss for me. I was so disappointed to discover that Tokugawa-en is one of those places that says it closes at a certain time but the service isn't available until that time. Closing time means you stop to offer the exact same service as any other time of the day, not the time your workers go home. Change your hours if you must. This is my biggest pet peeve. #BeautifulView #Outdoors #Serene #LetsGuide

Fabulous park near the centre of Nagoya, be careful of the parking as it's very limited and expensive, entrance isn't free around ¥300 per adult, limited access to some of the park if you are in a wheelchair or have a stroller, however as you can see in the Autumn is full of colour and a fantastic place to have a stroll around there is only one food stall selling traditional sweet and drinks. I went with my family and two babies, in a twin stroller, space was limited with the amount of people there, there is a disabled toilet but we never used it for changing. But I would recommend it on a quieter day!
