Japanese Garden

As alighting bustling Shinagawa Station, you will discover a secret urban oasis within a five minutes walk.
Every corner of the garden had been manicured by gardener Kusuoka Teiji, who had also designed the garden at the royal residence.

In the Takanawa Garden, a former royal estate, there are many historical spots – ideal for deepening your sense of tradition in Takanawa.

Sanmon Gate & Bronze Lantern
The Sanmon Gate was relocated from the Nenbutsu-ji Temple in Nara during the same period as the construction of the bell tower. The bronze lantern, on the other hand, was transferred from the mausoleum of the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo period.
