Hermoso contraste entre naturaleza y modernidad. Mientras caminas entre el césped y árbol frondosos es imposible no admirar los edificios gigantes de alrededor. Lo hace todo aún más bello. Recomiendo conocerlo y caminar en tu travesía para conocer Tokio.
Es con diferencia al parque que más me gustó en Tokio. Tienes que pagar entrada, pero todo está muy bien conservado y muy limpio. Tienes unas vistas preciosas de la torre Tokio y hacia los canales. Súper recomendado.
Es uno de los jardines más bonitos. Tiene todo lo tradicional y además puedes disfrutar de un Té con un mochi 🍵🍡 . Este jardín cuenta una historia, tan solo caminar por sus jardines te transporta a una atmósfera temporal diferente.
