The garden is a “kaiyushiki rinsen garden” featuring fountains, artificial hills, and dry landscaping, as used in the gardens of feudal lords in the Edo period. The garden was completed in 1880 as the Fukagawa Friendship Garden. After Yataro’s death, the garden was restored with water from the Sumida River and landscaping work including the placement of famous stones. The garden is designated as a place of scenic beauty by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and in early June, approximately 350 irises are at their best. With approximately 20 cherry trees planted, it is also a popular place for cherry blossom viewing.
