The garden, which took 7 years to complete is a circular style mountain garden built by Mr. Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa on land received from the fifth Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa in 1702. Rikugien Gardens has been appointed as a special scenic beauty due to being a Japanese garden typical of the Edo era. During the spring cherry blossom season and the autumn leaf season, opening hours are extended and the park is lit up at night.
