Lonely Planet review

Once a shōgunal palace extending into the area now occupied by the fish market, this traditional Japanese garden is one of Tokyo's finest. The Detached Palace Garden features a large duck pond with an island that's home to a charming tea pavilion, as well as some wonderfully manicured trees (black pine, Japanese apricot, hydrangeas, camellias etc), some of which are hundreds of years old.

Besides visiting the park as a side trip from Ginza or Tsukiji, consider arriving by boat from Asakusa via the Sumida-gawa cruise aboard the Suijō Bus.
