This serene 25-hectare tidal garden sits at the confluence of the Sumida River, seamlessly blending salt water channels with traditional landscaped ponds and tea houses. Stroll beneath ancient pine trees, cross arched wooden bridges, and experience the peaceful contrast of nature and the city skyline beyond its boundaries. The garden's thoughtful design reveals seasonal beauty at every turn, from blooming plums in early spring to graceful irises in summer.
