A peaceful oasis in the heart of town. A short walk from the Chinzanso garden, this garden charges no admission, and features pleasant walks around a lake and up the hills. There is a museum library of the Hosokawa clan at the top of a hill, and more buildings near the lake, restroom facilities. We did not investigate, just enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the garden. There are benches where you can sit to enjoy the ambience, or have a picnic. It seemed the locals also enjoy the garden. Several other cultural resources are nearby, such as an art gallery.

Really beautiful Japanese style garden. I found it randomly and it was a great discovery. Really green, really natural and well taken care of. The greatest thing is the entrance is completely free. Many other Japanese style gardens like this in Tokyo charge something, so this one is a really good option if you want to check one of these gardens and not pay anything. It has some paths to take a walk, a pond, a bridge, lot of nature and, well, toilets. Totally recommended. A beautiful “hidden” spot.

I think the best time to come here is in Spring. You can enter the garden for free. For only ¥700, you can sit in the house and have delicious iced sweet matcha with snacks. If you come at a time where there’s not much people, you can get a good seat in the middle of the room and enjoy your food with a beautiful view of the garden. After having tea, they will give you a ¥100 discount coupon for the museum!

Hadn't been here in a good long while, but it is as beautiful and peaceful as ever. (Although, and I have no idea how typical it is, a few busloads of elderly Japanese tourists crowded things a little while we were there.) There wasn't much blooming (only one beautiful shidare ume), but it is a beautifully designed park, with lots of trails and places to sit, and even more surprisingly, it is free to enter!

【 2023/12/01(金)再訪 】 2023年11/25(土)〜12/3(日)の期間、開催している「秋の紅葉ライトアップ-ひごあかり-」を見学させていただきました❗️🍁✨ 💡点灯時間は17:30〜20:30で、最終入園は20:00です。入園料は￥300(未就学児無料)、雨天中止です。 【 2023/04/08(土)訪問(天候：☁️) 】 BS日テレの「ぶらぶら美術・博物館」で、永青文庫(えいせいぶんこ)と共に紹介されていたのを見て👀訪れました❗️ 文京区立 肥後細川庭園は、江戸時代末期には徳川御三卿(ごさんきょう)の清水家(しみずけ)→一橋家(ひとつばしけ)の下屋敷(しもやしき→別邸)が置かれ、幕末には室町・戦国・江戸と生き抜いた大名家：熊本藩細川家の下屋敷となり、明治15年以降は熊本から東京に移った細川家の本邸となりました。 大きな池を中心とし、池の周りを散策する「池泉回遊式庭園(ちせんかいゆうしきていえん)」で、庭園内(正門から入ってすぐの所)には、細川家の学問所として使用されていたという「松聲閣(しょうせいかく)」という建物があり、庭園を眺めながら👀抹茶🍵をいただいたり、グッズ(くまモンのお菓子やコンパクトミラー等)が販売されていて、トイレもあります❗️ また、庭園内の階段を登った通用門からは、細川家に伝わる美術工芸品や文化財を保存・展示している「永青文庫(えいせいぶんこ)」という美術館があり、永青文庫の設立者：細川護立(ほそかわ もりたつ)氏は「日本美術刀剣保存協会」の初代会長でした。 細川家の初代当主は細川藤孝(ふじたか＝幽斎(ゆうさい))で、細川家第2代当主：細川忠興(ただおき＝三斎(さんさい))は利休七哲(りきゅうしちてつ＝利休七人衆)の1人で、妻は明智光秀の娘：明智 玉(たま)＝細川ガラシャで… 細川家の18代目に当たるのが、熊本県知事から第79代内閣総理大臣になった細川護熙(もりひろ)氏です。 肥後細川庭園は入園無料ですが、園内は整備されていてとてもキレイでした❗️✨👍 休園日は年末年始(12/28〜1/4)で、開園時間は9:00〜17:00です。 アクセスは、自分は東京さくらトラム(都電荒川線)の「早稲田駅」から向かいましたが、徒歩約5分でした🚶♀️ 他に、東京メトロ有楽町線「江戸川橋駅」1a出口から徒歩15分、東西線「早稲田駅」3a出口から徒歩15分🚶♀️ 今回は曇り空☁️だったので、次回は青空の日☀️か、紅葉のライトアップ💡🍁✨の時期に訪れてみたいと思います❗️
