Visit Tokyo: Kyu-Furukawa Gardens

While exploring different wards in Tokyo, we stumbled upon Kyu-Furukawa Gardens in Kita.

There is a very low admission fee to get in, as well as a separate admission if you'd like to tour the Western Style Residence.

The gardens are very pretty and tranquil.

There were very few people walking around, which made the gardens a very nice spot to sit and relax.

There were several benches throughout Kyu-Furukawa Gardens, making it an ideal spot to rest your tired and aching feet, while watching the koi swim in the pond, and the cherry blossom petals dance in the wind.

Even my kids commented how Kita is so different from other wards in Tokyo - so much more peaceful!  If you're looking for some time away from the hustle and bustle of the busier wards in Tokyo, definitely visit Kyu-Furukawa Gardens (and don't forget to pay the admission fee!).
