Description
Journey through time and culture in this delicate and gentle Japanese garden, Rikugien, a masterpiece of tranquility crafted over seven meticulous years from 1695. Marvel at the delicate dance of weeping cherry blossoms in spring or the fiery tapestry of autumn leaves. Ascend the heights of "Fujishiro-toge," the garden's artificial peak, to revel in a vista, that capures the intricate design and vast beauty below. Meander along the garden path, tracing the pond's edge, and immerse yourself in the ever-changing scenery that unfolds with every step. Since its inception, Rikugi-en has stood as one of Edo's two great gardens, alongside Koishikawa Korakuen Garden. Yanagizawa Yoshiho, inspired by literary wisdom, transformed the Komagome land into a villa in the Edo period, creating a "kaiyuu-shiki tsukiyama sennsui shiki Garden" over seven years. Delicately named, Rikugien draws inspiration from the "six principles of poetry" and the Waka poetry "Rokutai," embodying the poetic soul of Tsurayuki Kino.
