Hama-rikyu Gardens was once the garden of the Tokugawa shogunate. There are the Shioiri-no-ike Pond where seawater flows in and out by the ebb and flow, two tea houses and some historic spots like Kamoba imperial wild duck reserves where the shogun enjoyed falconry. The garden is valuable asset for observing samurai culture. Colorful peonies and flowering mustard can be seen in the garden in spring, and the seasonal beauty of cosmos can be enjoyed from summer through autumn.
