The Stunning Red Leaves of Koishikawa Korakuen (2)🍁

It's worth mentioning that Zhu Shunshui, a friend of the garden owner Tokugawa Mitsukuni, was involved in the design of the garden. As a result, Confucian elements are integrated into the garden, which forms a striking contrast with the bright and open Rikugien Garden. 🌿 Korakuen not only skillfully replicates famous lakes, mountains, rivers, and pastoral landscapes from various regions but also features many scenes named after Chinese landmarks, such as West Lake and Mount Lu. Therefore, it is known as a "secluded valley exuding Chinese charm." 🏞️ 💡 Tip: This place is a National Special Historic Site and Special Place of Scenic Beauty in Japan! 🌟 🗺️ Transportation & Ticket Tips • Address: 1-6-6 Koraku, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo • 🏙️ Nearest Stations: JR Suidobashi Station East Exit, about an 8-minute walk Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line "Iidabashi Station" C3 Exit, a 3-minute walk • ⏰ Opening Hours: 9:00–17:00 (last entry at 16:30) 🕰️ #Tokyo 🌇 #KorakuenGarden 🌿 #JapanTravelTips 🎫
