It is the only representative feudal lord’s garden of the Edo period in Tokyo with a tidal inlet pond, which is fed by seawater from Tokyo Bay. The area used to be a full-surface ash field for falconry by the Tokugawa shoguns, but in 1654 Matsudaira Tsunashige, the younger brother of the fourth shogun Ietsuna, built a villa called Kofu Hama Yashiki (Kofu Hamayashiki).
