Welcome to Koishikawa Korakuen, the oldest surviving Daimyo (feudal lord) garden in Tokyo, dating back to 1629!  - ![b1_IMG_E6709](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b1_IMG_E6709.jpg?width=8064&height=4536&name=b1_IMG_E6709.jpg) - ![b2IMG_E6716](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b2IMG_E6716.jpg?width=8064&height=4536&name=b2IMG_E6716.jpg) - ![b3_IMG_E6755](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b3_IMG_E6755.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b3_IMG_E6755.jpg) - ![b4_IMG_E6758](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b4_IMG_E6758.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b4_IMG_E6758.jpg) - ![b5_IMG_E6750](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b5_IMG_E6750.jpg?width=5712&height=4284&name=b5_IMG_E6750.jpg)   Here is why you should add this to your Tokyo bucket list: - A Fusion of Cultures: Built by the Mito Tokugawa family, this garden uniquely blends Japanese landscapes with Chinese classical aesthetics. Don't miss the Engetsu-kyo (Full Moon Bridge) —its reflection in the water creates a perfect circle! 🌕 - A "Miniature" World: The garden recreates famous scenic spots from across Japan and China with mountains, rivers, and even a "sea" (the Daisensui pond). - Seasonal Beauty: From plum blossoms and cherry trees in spring to wisteria and vibrant autumn leaves, there’s always something blooming. 🌸🍂 - Matcha with a View: Visit Biidoro Saryo inside the historic Kantokutei building. Their seasonal Matcha & Wagashi (Japanese sweet) sets are pure Zen. 🍵 Don’t forget to check out their original Tenugui towels for a unique souvenir! - ![b6_IMG_E6764](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b6_IMG_E6764.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b6_IMG_E6764.jpg) - ![b7_IMG_E6732](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b7_IMG_E6732.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b7_IMG_E6732.jpg) - ![b8_IMG_E6894](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b8_IMG_E6894.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b8_IMG_E6894.jpg) - ![b9_IMG_E6963](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b9_IMG_E6963.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b9_IMG_E6963.jpg) - ![b10_IMG_E6880](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b10_IMG_E6880.jpg?width=5712&height=3214&name=b10_IMG_E6880.jpg) - ![b11_IMG_E6835](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b11_IMG_E6835.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b11_IMG_E6835.jpg) - ![b12_IMG_E6866](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b12_IMG_E6866.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b12_IMG_E6866.jpg) - ![b13_IMG_E6756](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b13_IMG_E6756.jpg?width=5712&height=3214&name=b13_IMG_E6756.jpg) - ![b14_IMG_E6719](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b14_IMG_E6719.jpg?width=4588&height=2581&name=b14_IMG_E6719.jpg) - ![b15_IMG_E7050](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b15_IMG_E7050.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b15_IMG_E7050.jpg) - ![b16_IMG_E7048](https://hs.mytokyopass.com/hs-fs/hubfs/260406_Koishikawakorakuen/b16_IMG_E7048.jpg?width=4032&height=2268&name=b16_IMG_E7048.jpg) #### 💡 Pro-Tips for Travelers: - **No Japanese?
