Tonogayato Garden

殿ヶ谷戸庭園

Tokyo · Kanto

Tonogayato Garden is a small cliff-line garden in suburban Kokubunji, laid out in 1915 on the natural Musashino terrace around a spring-fed pond, with a bamboo grove and a tea house on the slope above. The change in level does the work of a much larger garden. Its maples turn a brilliant red over the water in late autumn.

Why we picked it

In western Tokyo's commuter belt, almost unknown to overseas visitors.
