\n The vast garden, with an area of 58.3 hectares and a perimeter of 3.5 km, skillfully combines a formal garden with rows of plane trees, a landscape garden with lilies rising high above the lawn, and a traditional Japanese garden. It is a modern Western garden representative of the Meiji era and is considered one of the few masterpieces of landscape-style gardens in Japan. The garden is said to have its roots in the Edo residence of the Naito family, a Tokugawa family vassal. After the establishment of a national agricultural experiment station and the imperial estate of the Ministry of the Imperial Household, it was created in 1906 as Japan’s first imperial garden. After the war, it became a national park and was opened to the public. With approximately 1,000 cherry trees, autumn leaves, chrysanthemum beds, and plants in the greenhouse, it is a popular oasis in the heart of the city where visitors can experience nature regardless of the season.
