Tokyo Shinjuku-ku Nishi-waseda 3-5

"This traditional Japanese strolling garden built around a central pond is the only one of its kind to be operated by Shinjuku Ward. The site was originally a villa belonging to the Shimizu-Tokugawa family, and the garden which you can visit today is the same one originally created for this estate. ""Kansenen"" literally translates to ""Sweet Spring Garden,"" a name it is said to have been given because the waters of the spring which wells up on the site are perfect for making delicious tea. Popular as a Japanese garden which is easily accessible, the grounds are overflowing with natural, seasonal beauty, including azaleas and hydrangeas, new spring greenery, and fall foliage. In a wintertime tradition in Shinjuku, staff employed by the ward erect stunning yukizuri rope cages, a Japanese horticulture technique designed to protect trees from heavy snows."
