Takanawa's Japanese Garden

Tokyo @ Shinagawa - It was a 30 minutes walk to this beautiful Japanese Garden which is located between Grand Prince Hotel Takanawa and The Prince Sakura Tower Tokyo.  The weather was sunny but cool so it makes the walk not so sweaty.

Takanawa’s Japanese garden, which covers about 20,000 m², was designed by the late Kusuoka Teiji, who also worked on the new Imperial Palace.

Dotted around the garden, there are 16 kinds of flowers; as well as about 230 cherry trees of 20 varieties, a pond with carp, , a temple dedicated to Kannon, and a bell tower.

Cobble steps
Beautiful laid cobble stones around the garden and steps.  Just need to be careful as it gets slippery when it rain.
