Escape the urban clamor and step into a realm of tranquility. The Hotel New Otani's Japanese garden is an urban oasis with over 400 years of history. During the Edo period, this land flourished as the lower residence of Kato Kiyomasa, later becoming the residence of the Ii family, and subsequently the Fushimi-no-miya family's estate. Today, it's a beloved part of the Hotel New Otani.
The lush garden features ponds, waterfalls, bridges, and an array of seasonal blooms. Enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms in spring, lotuses in summer, and vibrant autumn foliage. A tea house also graces the grounds, offering a chance to savor matcha tea while relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere.
This garden is perfect for those seeking a moment of peace and quiet amidst the city's energy. Admission is free and open to the public, regardless of whether you are a hotel guest. Be sure to visit!
