【Tokyo Sights 4k】Mejiro Garden (目白庭園) is a beautiful traditional Japanese garden in Tokyo. It’s located in Toshima ward, not too far from Ikebukuro area (takes about 15 mins from JR Ikebukuro Station). It’s one of Tokyo’s best kept secrets which not too many tourists visit in the first place. However, this small and calm Japanese garden is the perfect oasis where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and feel traditional Japanese culture. Moreover, the garden can be entered for free.
Mejiro Garden is recommended to visit through the year as it displays the beautiful scenery in each season, but the best time to visit the garden is perhaps during autumn leaves season from mid November to early December. The scenery of colorful autumn leaves in the traditional Japanese garden is simply breathtaking.
Mejiro Garden is normally open till 17:00 (19:00 in July and August), but during the peak season of autumn leaves viewing, the garden is open at night for the special autumn leaves light-up event. The autumn leaves and the garden will be decorated with fascinating lights. When it’s not windy, you can appreciate the reflection of the lit-up leaves on the pond just like a mirror.

【観光名所】東京目白の閑静な住宅街に、開設された本格的日本庭園です。限られた空間の中に日本人の自然観を凝縮したこの庭では、池を回遊する園路の随所で自然の造形美に出会えます。水際に築かれた石垣の上には、数奇屋建築の『赤鳥庵』が優雅にたたずんでいます。深山を思わせる滝や石組み、水上に浮かんだ『六角浮き見堂』からの大海を見るような眺めが都会にいることを忘れさせてくれます。
