Tokugawa Garden

Tokugawa Garden in Nagoya recreates a daimyo-style landscape on land connected with the Owari Tokugawa household. A central pond, waterfalls and stonework compress larger natural scenery into a strolling route. Pair the garden with the neighboring Tokugawa Art Museum if you want to connect the family's cultural objects with a landscape recalling its former estate.
