Stone-hopping, bird watching and flower viewing
Kiyosumi Gardens is a fine example of a Japanese strolling-style landscape garden, visited by several bird species, and home to seasonal flowers and black pines around a large pond.
Tips
- Enjoy the scenery of the Daisensui pond up close from the three “Iso-watari” (stepping-stone) paths
- Check out the various local cultural spots, including a large art museum
The most famous aspect of the garden, completed during the Meiji era (1868-1912), are the many valuable landscape stones placed throughout the grounds, some of them acquired from across Japan. Hovering over the pond is a ryotei, a gathering place, which resembles a teahouse and adds to the traditional feel of the garden.
It only takes three minutes to walk up to the Kiyosumi Gardens from “Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station” on the Tokyo Metro Toei Oedo Line. The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo and the Fukagawa Edo Museum are both within walking distance of Kiyosumi Gardens. It's worth combining these with a visit to the gardens.
