This video is so well done and also very relaxing, thank you for that ! I love Japanese Gardens (=JG), and in every place in Japan, visiting a JG is something very high on my priority list. But in Tokyo, there are so many other things to do, see and enjoy, which are mostly unique to Tokyo, that I dont feel like I "have time" to visit a JG. Therefore, in several visits to Tokyo, I have only visited Nr. 2 and 5 from your list. However, Nr. 3 looks really beautiful, thank you for sharing this precious looking garden.
Great video! Love seeing all the gardens that used to be private. Also love seeing the bonsai.
Fine tour of lovely gardens – very inspiring
I visited Koishikawa Korakuen in November 2018 and it was so beautiful! I had planned to go to Hamarikyu Gardens earlier this month but the weather wasn't cooperating 😅 Hopefully the weather will be nicer next time 🙏
Thanks!
I went to Rikugien Gardens. It's very nice. Check out the 'back side' as well.
I posted on the instagram how much this first garden looks like the Huntington. Even the peach colored building is just like the one there. If you do end up going, you’ll be amazed at how much they captured the feel and look of a Japanese garden there. Also, make sure to reserve a spot at the tea room in advance. It’s 100% worth it. Amazing video. I will have to check it out when I get back to Japan.
A wonderful video. Thank you so much.
