From Royal Retreat to Public Paradise🌿

🌿It's hard to imagine the living conditions of commoners under the royal power a century ago. The word "granted" still hanging there more or less reveals some people's reluctance to let go of that era... 🌟 The most beautiful scenes of Hamarikyu are in the "Tide-Coming Pond" and the four imperial tea houses scattered around it. The tea houses have extremely elegant names: Pine Imperial Tea House, Swallow Imperial Tea House, Hawk Imperial Tea House, and Central Island Imperial Tea House. 🌿The quiet pond water reflects the small bridges, and the tea houses contrast with the surrounding modern buildings. Walking around, your mood becomes especially calm. 🌸 🌟 The former Shiba Rikyu Garden, one of the oldest surviving daimyo gardens, is near Hamarikyu. Although it's not as large as Hamarikyu, its layout and rock scenery have many highlights; and several scattered ruins further highlight its historical depth. 🏞️ 🌿In my humble opinion, since you're already here, why not visit both? 😄😂 #HiddenTravelSpots #ExploringTokyo #TokyoAdventures 🌟
