Hama rikyu gardes
Hamarikyu Gardens is a Japanese garden located in Chūō ward, Tokyo, Japan, and it is one of the representative Daimyo garden from the Edo period.
In 1654, the Kofu feudal lord Tokugawa Tsunashige was bestowed the land and reclaimed the sea to build detached residence. Since then, several landscaping and renovation works have been performed by successive generals, and almost the current appearance of the garden was completed at the time of the eleventh general Tokugawa Ienari.
After the Meiji Restoration, it became the Imperial Family’s Villa, and its name was changed to Hamarikyu.
After that, precious buildings such as tea houses were burned down and trees were damaged due to the Great Kanto Earthquake and the war, and the remnants of the past disappeared.
However, on November 3, 1945, the gardens was given to Tokyo metropolitan government, and after the maintenance, it was released to the public in April 1946.
The gardens are located on the edge of Tokyo Bay, and it is surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay.
