HAMA-RIKYU GARDEN
The Hama-Rikyu Garden is located at the mouth of the Sumida River by the Tokyo Bay.
It was donated by the Imperial family in 1945 to become a public park.
The garden was the site of a residence of the Tokugawa shogun family since the mid-1600s.
A huge – literally – feature of this garden is the ‘300-year old pine’, which is known by that name.
