Kyu Shiba Rikyu (旧芝離宮恩賜庭園) is a traditional Japanese garden located in the Minato ward of Tokyo, Japan. It was originally built in the 17th century as a feudal lord’s residence and was later converted into a garden during the Meiji period.
The garden is known for its picturesque landscapes that blend the natural elements of water, rocks, and plants in a harmonious way. The pond in the center of the garden is surrounded by small islands and bridges, and there are several tea houses where visitors can enjoy a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
