Hotel Chinzanso Garden | Waseda
椿山荘
Although part of the famous Chinzanso Hotel, this garden can be visited freely all year around and should be on the list of any Japanese garden lover. Stroll along the Kanda river until you reach the beautiful Kabuki-mon gate in the South of the garden which will lead you slightly up the hill past various ponds, a three-story pagoda, a small bridge and a waterfall. Especially beautiful at night when the trees are illuminated, you might also stumble upon the occasional kimono-wearer as this is a popular spot for weddings and traditional celebrations.
After your stroll through the garden head straight for the beautiful, small Mucha-an (pictured above) which serves soba noodles and delicious tempura for as little as 1.050 yen and is nestled inside the serene garden (we recommend to reserve in advance).
