10 Scenic Walking Areas in Tokyo That You Shouldn't Miss

February 7, 2022 Mollie Coke

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

This is a great garden which is part of a hotel property and has all the traditional Japanese Garden features we were expecting from the little temple, a chapel where several couples were getting married, nice walkways, koi fish, sitting areas, a mini bamboo forest and lots of beautiful flowers and trees including bonsai trees. We would definitely recommend stopping to see this. It is near several other attractions if you are just wondering around so be on the lookout for it while walking around and using the pocket Wi-Fi that is highly recommended by all to help get around.

Demboin Temple Garden

Reviewed By ivanpatmadiwiria - Jakarta, Indonesia

Dembōin Teien, or Dembōin garden is a garden adjacent to the famous Senso-ji temple in Asakusa. It is pretty large and is one beautiful place in this Asakusa area. Being a private garden of Sensō-ji temple’s abbot it is normally not open to public, only open for a short time period each year usually from mid-March until early May. In the olden days it was only open to nobles. The circuit-style garden is approximately 10,000 square meters and has as its main feature a two section large pond. The garden was designed by Kobori Enshu (1579–1647), who was a celebrated garden designer and tea-ceremony master, notable Japanese artist and aristocrat in the reign of the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543–1616, reign as shogun 1603–1605). He is famous for his design work for gardens all over Japan. This is a very tranquil place in a busy environment in Asakusa area in Tokyo. A wonderful place for a moment of contemplation or just cooling down from your hectic day. At least once a year. But I heard it is open to public again sometime during autumn - need further information and confirmation though.
