Tokugawaen Garden

MK GUIDE Recommends

Tokugawaen Garden, located in the heart of Nagoya, is a beautifully preserved example of a traditional Japanese garden. Originally built in the Edo period, the garden was designed to reflect the elegance and tranquility of Japanese natural landscapes. Visitors can stroll through meticulously landscaped paths, past koi-filled ponds, stone lanterns, and carefully pruned trees. The garden’s design features a large central pond, symbolizing the ocean, with smaller streams and waterfalls representing rivers and mountains. Seasonal flowers and foliage, including cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn leaves, make each visit to Tokugawaen Garden a unique experience. Adjacent to the Tokugawa Art Museum, the garden provides a peaceful retreat and a deep connection to Japan’s cultural heritage.
