Spring at Rikugien Gardens: Azaleas in a Feudal Lord's Garden 春の六義園～大名庭園でつつじを楽しむ～

6-16-3 Komagome, Bunkyo City, Tokyo
Mid April 2024 - Early May 2024

In the late 1600s, azaleas became a horticultural trend throughout Edo (the former name of Tokyo), with the Rikugien Gardens in the Somei neighborhood of Komagome at the heart of this trend. In these 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.
