Passable routes for wheel chairs

This is the highest manmade hill of 35m, whose top is called “Fujimi-yama” (Fuji-view peak) from where you can enjoy fantastic panoramic view. The name was taken from a mountain pass of the same name in Kishu (present Wakayama Prefecture).

Fujishiro-toge

A mountain stream runs beside the arbor, falling through rocks with splash. From the arbor, you can enjoy impressive views of the waterfall, rock formation as well as sound of water.

Takimi-chaya

Two manmade hills located at Naka-no-shima, an islet in the pond. The hills represent man-woman relationship as “Se” and “Imo” meant “Man” and “Woman” in ancient expression. There is also “Sekirei-seki” associated with a myth of Izanagi and Izanami.

Imo-no-yama/Se-no-yama

 Rikugien is a kaiyu-style (circuit style) daimyo garden with manmade hills and ponds that reflect tastes and flavor of the world of Waka poetry, and it was constructed in 1702 by the lord of Kawagoe domain, Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu who was deeply trusted by the 5th shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. This delicate and genial garden provides viewing pleasure of changing sights strolling along the routes that surround the pond.  This is a typical and representative daimyo garden of Edo period that remains, and it became the second residence of the founder of Mitsubishi, Iwasaki Yataro in the Meiji era. Later, it was donated by the Iwasaki family to the City of Tokyo in 1938. This garden is a valuable cultural heritage that was designated as the Special Places of Scenic Beauty of the country in 1953 as a special site of exceptional beauty.

The origin of the garden nameThe name “Rikugien” derives from the six classifications of Waka poetry, namely auxiliary poem, counting poem, comparing poem, example poem and celebration poem that was advocated in the preface of Kokinshu (a collection of ancient and recent poems of the day), following the six classifications of the Chinese poems. While the garden was called “Mukusa-no-sono” in Japanese way in “Rikugien-ki” edited by Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu himself, it is now read as “Rikugien” with Chinese pronunciation.

Guided tour of the garden (in Japanese)We recommend you to take advantage of a guided tour with volunteers who can tell you about spots to see in the garden, story of Japanese garden and history as well as topics of Waka poetry, while strolling in the garden.* Twice a day from 11am and 2pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Time required is approximately 60 minutes (free).

This teahouse was built using used wood materials of azalea in the Meiji era. It managed to escape damage during the war, passing on its rare style to the present day. Autumnal tints of maple leaves are splendid.

Tsutsuji-chaya

This typical stone-made arch shaped islet is based on the main theme of Taoist immortality.Horai-jima

For each of the 88 beauty spots inside the garden (Rikugien 88 spots), there used to be a stone pillar respectively. However, only 32 of them have survived to date.

Sekichu(Stone pillar)

This is the name for one of the pond shores, which is rich in view perspective with Naka-no-shima to the right, Horai-jima to the left and Fukiage-no-hama on the opposite shore.

Deshio-no-minato

This gate allows a direct access to the center of the garden. Nearby, a large tree of weeping cherry is planted in the open space.

Naitei-daimon

A stone bridge that was named after a famous poem, “Shadow of the moon moving at night and cry of a crane in mash of reed in the shore of Waka, makes me feel so lonely”. Massive two large slabs of stones give a distinctive effect to the surrounding atmosphere.

Togetsukyo

In ancient days, spiders were called “sasagani”, and the name was given to this narrow path in analogy with thin spider net

Sasagani-no-michi
