The Hamarikyu Gardens (浜離宮恩賜庭園) is a veritable oasis in a concrete jungle, situated in the heart of Shimbashi, a bustling financial and business district more well known for its droves of salari-man than parks. I’ve read about the park’s beautiful Nanoha flowers and decided to come and take some pictures.

Unfortunately I lost my way while searching for the place and arrived only shortly before the park’s closing time at five, and the sun was already setting. I’ll have to come back another time soon.

Some of the cherry trees are already blossoming – its almost spring time in Tokyo.
