In the late 1600s, azaleas became a horticultural trend throughout Edo (the former name of Tokyo). In the Rikugien Gardens, many azalea varieties that were planted back then still remain to this day.

Panels explaining azalea horticulture in the past are available. Enjoy the beauty of the gardens, along with an opportunity to learn about their history. Warm spring sunshine adds a perfect touch to the bright red and purple displays at Rikugien.
