A stunning irises hidden garden in the heart of Tokyo

#tokyotravel Many visitors know about Meiji Jingu shrine as a must go spot around Shibuya and Harajuku, but not many know about a small inner garden inside a bigger shrine area. The entrance is not that obvious, therefore many visitors just pass it by, while it is a true gem, especially in summer. The garden has a much longer history than the main shrine, and offers a beautiful well-maintainded Japanese garden. The best time to visit is late May - late June when the iris garden is in full bloom and the pond is full of water lilies. 🕰️Business Hours: 09:00 - 16:30 💰Average Price per Person: 500 yen (maintenance donation) 💞Reasons to Recommend: wonderful tea house, stunning Japanese garden, no crowds. #historicallandmarks #localguides #japanesegarden
