Wonderful area to escape the frenetic pace of Tokyo. A great assortment of wide-open spaces, and small winding trails. Some elegant historical buildings and structures, and excellent views of the nearby lake. Convenient access along the provided paths, some of which are gravel. Even has a temporary train station located adjacent to the entrance, which is activated for special occasions.

Plum blossoms are not full on (10%) as of Feb 3rd, but it was nice day to walk around the park.

I love Kairskuen garden. It was my third visit. Today in the 1st of December it was very calm and I loved strolling through the park and have a coffee in the coffee shop. I have been here before during the plum blossom season, which is if course the absolutely highlight. But then the park is very crowded.

It should be absolutely gorgeous during Sakura bloom time. We visited in November, it was interesting - bamboo forest, ivaki cut of pine trees etc. but I would expect more from "one of three greatest Japanese gardens". There is a traditional Japanese house in the garden (additional fee) with great view and interior paintings. Worth to visit. You can also get a coffee with sweets there. I was impressed with presentation of Tiramisu cake.
