    A botanical garden located in Horikiri, Katsushika City, Tokyo. The garden was created during the Edo period, one of many iris gardens which flourished at the time as sightseeing destinations. The garden's irises reach their peak from early to mid-June. Other flowers such as Japanese apricots, tree peonies, winter cherries, and wisteria come into bloom throughout the year. The Seikan-tei restaurant, which is outfitted with a casual cafe corner, operates on the garden grounds and serves seasonal Japanese dishes.

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
