Sekiguchi Bashoan

3.5

Akihabara / Kanda / Ochanomizu / Suidobashi / IidabashiArea

This place affiliated with the poet Matsuo Basho is located nearby Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. In this area that is surrounded by many cultural spots such as Higo Hosokawa Garden and the Eisei Bunko Museum, Sekiguchi Bashoan spreads out as a garden centered around a pond fed by a natural spring. Basho was involved in repairing the Kanda Aqueduct, and lived at the Ryuinan retreat for about three years starting in 1677. After that, the current retreat was built after it was destroyed in a fire during World War II, but it still retains traces of what it looked like in Basho's time with large gingko trees and white plum blossoms that have survived since back then.

目白台の台地の自然

Reviewed : 2023.01.31

こちらは、肥後細川庭園の東側（水神社の東側）にあります。肥後細川庭園に比べると規模が小さく、整備されていない感じですが、これがの目白台の台地(関口台地)の自然景観だと思うとなかなか風情があります。
残念ながら整備されているとは言い難い

早稲田大学から近く、神田川沿い、環境立地的には良い場所だと思うのですが、残念ながら整備されているとは言い難く、もったいないとしかいい様がありません。池は一度水を抜いては！？と言いたくなるような状況で、クラウドファンディングでもして手入れをしたら良いのでは？と考えてしまいます。都内において本来は貴重な場所だと思います。
草ぼうぼう

有楽町線の江戸川橋駅から神田川沿いの遊歩道を歩いて8分くらい門構えはそこそこでしたが夏のせいか、どこも草ぼうぼうで階段はほとんど途中から危険シール家屋の内覧はないので早々に退散しました無料だから仕方ない
