Overview

Kiyosumi Garden is a strolling-style garden (kaiyuushiki rinsen teien) created in the Meiji period by the businessman Yataro Iwasaki. Located in Kiyosumi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, it offers a space where you can fully appreciate the beauty of nature amidst the city. A large pond, "Oizumi-sui," serves as the centerpiece, harmoniously complemented by artificial hills, waterfalls, bridges, and seasonal flowers that soothe the soul of any visitor. The garden features a teahouse and numerous prized stones collected from across Japan by the Iwasaki family, offering a glimpse into history. A "strolling-style garden" is a garden style where you enjoy the scenery while walking along ponds and streams. At Kiyosumi Garden, you can enjoy various perspectives of the garden by strolling around the pond, climbing artificial hills, and crossing bridges. The garden's beauty changes with the seasons—cherry blossoms in spring and vibrant autumn leaves in fall—making it a captivating destination year-round. It provides a natural landscape rarely seen in a major city, offering a peaceful escape from the urban noise. Furthermore, Kiyosumi Garden also possesses disaster prevention features. During the Great Kanto Earthquake, the garden served as a refuge for many people, playing a crucial role in saving lives. The Iwasaki family recognized the importance of the garden as an evacuation site in times of disaster and prioritized building a resilient garden. Kiyosumi Garden is a precious urban oasis that seamlessly combines history, nature, and disaster prevention. Escape the city's commotion and enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by tranquility and greenery.
