It’s the beginning of cherry blossom season. I visited Koishikawa Korakuen Garden.
The garden was originally a private house of Mito Tokugawa family, one of most powerful Tokugawa families in the Edo period. Mitsukuni Tokugawa, or Mito Komon, famous white hats in the Edo era and a hero in today’s samurai TV programs, once lived here.
A cherry tree was in the center of the garden. The branches as well as the flowers hanged loosely.
There are ponds, small hills, flower beds and plant fields. Some gardens were covered with mosses. They also have bridges, small temples and monuments.
There stands Tokyo Dome baseball stadium behind the garden.

The cheering of the supporters were heard from the dome.
The walls of the garden are also historical. The wall stones were carried from the Edo Castle.
