Located in Korakuen, Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, this is a stroll garden with a central pond and landscaped hills and spring water. The garden embodies four landscapes: sea, mountains, rivers, and countryside, offering changing views as one walks around. Incorporating Chinese scenic spots and styles such as the Engetsu Bridge and Seiko Tsutsumi, it presents a world beautifully balancing Japanese and Chinese elements.
The garden is designated both a special historic site and a special place of scenic beauty under the Cultural Properties Protection Law. Only it and Hama-Rikyu Gardens have received this double designation in Kanto.
