It seems that Tokyo comes with an endless list of parks to visit, and to be fair we have yet to finish covering them all. Among them you may stumble upon Rikugien, another gorgeous park close to Ikebukuro. What’s interesting here is that Rikugien is a beautiful garden to visit all year long, offering an unforgettable view each time. For those of you fortunate enough to be visiting Japan in December, you will be glad to know that the park is also open for a few weeks at night!
Build around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun, Rikugien is another good example of the park design from the Edo Period and comes with a story of its own! Rikugien literally means : The ‘six poems garden’ and here you can see reproductions, in miniature, of 88 scenes from famous Japanese poems!
PS. To better capture the “essence” of this garden at night we decided to shoot this entire video in time-lapse. We hope you will enjoy this 4K video as much as the others.
