Tokyo's Hidden Gem Right at Your Doorstep | Rikugien Garden(2)

🌿 Although it wasn't the peak season for red leaves, the occasional red maples interwoven with evergreen pines still looked quite charming. 🌿🌟Especially the maple leaves around the pond, with their reflections in the water creating a delightful contrast, even the ducks playing in the water seemed perfectly in place. The whole scene was low-key yet incredibly captivating. We went early in the morning, and the air was especially refreshing. 🍃🌸 Upon closer inspection, there were many interesting and beautiful plants. 🌿🌟Our Japanese teacher specifically pointed out the many lights installed in the garden, explaining that from late November to early December, the garden hosts a maple leaf illumination event, saying it's also nice to visit at night. 🌟 ✨ The garden isn't very large, but there's a nice little teahouse called Takumi-cha-ya where you can rest after walking around. Order a set of matcha with traditional Japanese sweets—the matcha is great and the sweets are well-made. 🍃🌸 You can instantly feel at one with the surroundings, haha. And of course, it's perfect for taking photos that will look amazing! 📸 In summary, I'll definitely come again! 😊 🌿🌟 #Tokyo #TokyoLife #DailyPhotoshoot
