Traditional Styled Boatshed

Huge success of Shiratori Garden in 1989 led to a number of Japanese garden reconstructions throughout Japan. Tokugawaen Garden built in 2004 is one of such notable examples slightly based on the gardens of Owari Tokugawa family residence either in Nagoya or Tokyo. The garden features two great waterfalls, Ozone No Taki and Ryumon No Taki. It also has reduced version of Baidi (Bai Causeway) at the Xi Hu(West Lake) of Hangzhou, China. Baidi is one of the popular motifs in Japanese gardens. I like the landscape of the bridge over the ravine, and a traditional styled boatshed. Compound ticket for Tokugawa Art Museum and Hosa Bunko Library is also available(1,500 yen).

Well-designed ravine
4 more images

Shiratori Teien close to Atsuta Shrine was designed in 1989 for World Design Expo held in Nagoya. This stroll landscape garden has a imcoming tide pond just like that of Hamarikyu Garden in Tokyo. I was most impressed by the reconstruction of ravine and waterfall home to various kinds of dragonflies. This garden also has wide variety of flowers that are designed to please visitors regardless of the seasons.

Shirotori Teien 白鳥庭園

This park is really a nice pleasant walk with nice places to sit and enjoy the plants and landscaping of the garden.

And it's really pretty during Koyo (When the leaves turn red in autumn).

It's a nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the urban life.

Entrance fee for adults is 300yen

Go to Tsuruma Park to get away from all the urban sprawl. It`s great to go during cherry blossom season (in the Spring). There are many beautiful flowers, ponds, a soccer field, playgrounds, and trees.

Higashiyama Koen (Park)

If you like zoo and botanical garden, this place has plenty to offer. The place is huge so you must prepare yourself to do some exercise by walking. However, you may not notice the distance and the length of time you spend on this place because of plenty of attractions along the way. Be sure to have a camera ready all the time because good animal expressions may come at any moment where you least expect it to happen.

Hanami (cherry blossoms viewing) at the Higashiyama-koen park.
Higashima-koen is a zoo and botanical garden with hundreds of cherry trees. On the peak of the cherry blossom season everybody from Nagoya and vicinities come here to enjoy the views, but the area of the park is so big that it doesn't feel crowded.
