Hama-rikyu gardens
This is another example of gardens from the Edo period and this garden depends on the intake of water to fill the ponds from the Edo Bay. First established in 1654 and latter became the Detached Palace for the Imperial Family. The great earthquake and World War II bombings damaged the gardens considerably and in 1945 the gardens were restored and open to the public from 1946. When the tide is in the teahouse appears to float on water. This garden also has a large Peony collection numbering over 60 different types and nearly 800 plants.
