Tokyo | Koishikawa Korakuen Garden(2)

🌟🌿The garden is designed around a central pond, incorporating elements of famous Chinese landscapes, making it highly reminiscent of Chinese aesthetics. 🌿 🌸 Korakuen Garden is not just a beautiful garden but also a historical and cultural heritage site rich in stories. In 1952, it was designated as a Special Historic Site and Special Place of Scenic Beauty by the Japanese government. 🌟🌿 It stands alongside Kyoto's Rokuon-ji (Kinkaku-ji) and Jisho-ji (Ginkaku-ji), and is one of only two Tokyo Metropolitan Parks to hold this prestigious status. 🌇 ☕ Near the West Gate of the garden, there is a small shop called Aoi-ya, perfect for purchasing some refreshing drinks. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat in the bustling city, this is the perfect spot to relax and unwind. 🍵 🌟🌿 #TokyoTravel #KoishikawaKorakuen 🌟🌿
