Takanawa's Hidden Garden

Part of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel 'Complex'

During December, this lawn is covered in Christmas decorations.

Pathway leading past the steak house, Katsura

The garden is especially beautiful in autumn

Surrounded on all sides by Prince Hotel buildings, the garden is a quiet oasis.

In the summer, this becomes a BBQ area and beer garden.

Part of a tasty lunch at the Grand Cafe Patio, which overlooks the garden.

The trees in the garden are lush in the summer time.

In June, many hydrangea bloom on this hill.

Hidden behind three of the Prince Hotels in Shinagawa is a lovely Japanese garden containing a large fish pond, a bell tower, a small temple, a traditional tea house, and more. Although meant for guests staying overnight, visitors who dine in one of the many restaurants overlooking the garden can also wander through it. Have steak in Katsura, elegant Japanese in Takanawa Shichiken-jaya, pasta in the Grand Cafe Patio, or dessert in the Komyo Lounge.

Beautiful! So many people I know think of Tokyo as merely an urban jungle of buildings and concrete but there are so many green pockets even in the city "center". I'll have to add this one to my list!
