Kiyosumi Gardens - visitor guide

清澄庭園

Kiyosumi Gardens arranges a pond, carefully placed stones and planted islands into a landscape shaped during the Iwasaki family's ownership. Stones gathered from different parts of Japan give the paths and waterside a distinctive material character. Follow the pond circuit slowly to notice changes in composition, keeping this enclosed garden distinct from the neighboring public park.

Why go

Its stonework offers a close, tangible way to appreciate garden composition alongside the broader pond views.
