Happo-en is far from your average gorgeous hidden Japanese garden in central Tokyo. While its history still eludes me, it is said that Happo-en was the cherished mansion of Ōkubo Tadataka throughout his life 1560~1639 (also known as Ōkubo Hikozaemon). It is however after 1951 that Happo-en became what it is today and took its current name. Many people incorrectly translate this name to “a garden beautiful from any angle” while in fact, the most accurate translation is “Garden of Eight Views”.
Now what’s different about Happo-en is that this garden is in fact just the visible tip of the iceberg, while in fact, the core business of the location is to celebrate weddings and others events with a wide selection of facilities made to please those people looking for something more traditional.
You can rest assured that you do not need to participate in a wedding nor any other kind of special event to visit this park, indeed the park is open all year long and with free access to anyone. If you are curious about Japanese culture and need either to enjoy a traditional Japanese tea ceremony or you’re looking for a traditional Japanese lunch in a unique environment, be sure to contact one of the Happon-en staff to make a reservation!
