A little time. A closer look.
Rikugien is a strolling garden shaped around a pond and hills, with landscapes inspired by waka poetry. Take the longer view from the water before looking at a small stone, branch or reflection. Seasonal colors change the same quiet route.
Something to notice
Find two views of the same island as you follow the pond. Note what the path reveals and what a branch hides.
A little consideration
Stay on permitted paths. Do not feed birds or fish, pick plants or disturb other visitors. Follow garden staff and current notices.
