Garden Walks

Are you visiting Tokyo and want to explore its beautiful gardens with expert guidance? Real Japanese Gardens – Tokyo Garden Tours offers both private and public walks through the city’s most stunning traditional gardens. Professional garden guide Anika Ogusu leads every tour.

Public Garden Tours take place on the first Monday of each month. These small-group tours (maximum 8 guests, around one hour) focus on one featured garden—such as Hamarikyu, Kiyosumi, Rikugien, Koishikawa Korakuen, or Kyu Furukawa. You’ll meet at the main entrance at 10 AM. Together, you’ll explore ponds, tea houses, seasonal plants, and historic garden features. The tour ends with a short Q&A. The fee is only $20.

Private Garden Tours give you a tailored experience. Whether you’re staying in Tokyo or planning a special garden day, Anika works with you to create a half-day or full-day tour. You might visit well-known sites like Rikugien, Shinjuku Gyoen, or Hamarikyu—or discover hidden gems off the tourist path. Learn about garden design, seasonal highlights, symbolic elements, and Japanese cultural traditions. You choose what to focus on.

Every tour includes expert insights, flexible scheduling, and detailed garden background. Tours run year-round. Even on rainy days, gardens reveal a unique charm.

Private tours suit couples, families, garden lovers, or students who want a deeper connection with Japan’s green spaces.
