Hamarikyu Gardens

nihongo|Hamarikyu Gardens|浜離宮恩賜庭園|Hama-rikyū Onshi Teien is a public park in Tokyo, Japan. Located at the mouth of the Sumida River in Chūō-ku, it was opened April 1, 1946. The park is a 250,165 m² landscaped garden surrounding Shioiri Pond, the park itself surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century.

The garden is normally calm. Visitors can also enjoy refreshment at a teashop in Nakashima located in the middle of the pond in the garden that offers matcha and Japanese sweets in a tea-ceremony style. A peony garden, plum tree grove and cosmos fields have flowers for every season. Exhibitions falcon and Japanese goshawk traditional hunting techniques are demonstrated daily.
