# Hamarikyu Gardens

A former shogunate duck-hunting ground now open to the public, Hamarikyu sits improbably between Shiodome's skyscrapers and Tokyo Bay. A seawater pond at the center rises and falls with the tides, and a 300-year-old pine tree anchors the east side. Arrive by ferry from Asakusa for a cinematic approach.

## Insider Tips
The Sumida River ferry from Asakusa to Hamarikyu is one of the best transitions in Tokyo — from temple streets to bay views in 40 minutes. The on-pond teahouse serves matcha and wagashi; the tatami seating is calm even on crowded days.
