Kiyosumi Garden

Kiyosumi Garden is a Japanese cultural garden located in Koto City, Tokyo. It was created in the late 19th century by Kiyosumi Ito, a prominent industrialist. The garden covers an area of about 30,000 square meters, and features a number of springs, ponds, cherry trees, as well as pathways lined with Japanese maples. Visitors to the garden have a unique opportunity to stroll along the same paths that were once traveled by Kiyosumi Ito himself. Many of the ponds and lakes provide a tranquil, serene atmosphere.

Within the garden, two distinct sections were developed: a formal area featuring more manicured topiary and flower gardens, and a relaxing wilder area garden, which was designed to resemble a miniature mountain landscape. Visitors may also take a journey across a small bridge and explore the tucked away areas of the garden. Kiyosumi Garden is a popular spot for couples, families, and photographers. Near the entrance of the garden, a monument was erected in honor of the founder of Kiyosumi Garden and the great contributions he made to the city. There is an admission fee for visitors to access the garden, and the viewing times are typically from 9am to 5pm.
