The garden has a reputation for the beauty of the harmony of famous stones and pine trees collected from all over Japan, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Japan in a circular fountain garden.
The Kiyosumi Gardens are a circular garden with a fountain, an artificial hill, and a dry landscape garden. In 1878, industrialist Yataro Iwasaki purchased the site of a dilapidated mansion and planned to create a garden. After his death, work continued on the garden, which was completed in 1880 as the Fukagawa Fellowship Garden. In 1932, the garden was opened to the public, and in March 1979, it was designated as a place of scenic beauty by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. In 1977, an additional site adjacent to the west side of the garden opened as an open park, which is still the current configuration now.
There are three different types of "rock crossing" in the park, and you can enjoy the changing scenery as you walk along. Also, on days when it is quietly raining or after it has rained, the various stones in the park shine beautifully in the rain, giving them a different look. Since there are relatively few visitors on rainy days, this sight is popular to only a very few. The park on the west side of the garden has a lawn, a pergola, and about 20 cherry trees, making it a popular place for cherry blossom viewing in spring.
Normally, Japanese guides are available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and English guides are available on the second Sunday of every month.

每一個地方都看得到巧思的設計，水池、植物、建築也都用心的維護照顧。
庭園整理的很乾淨，站在小橋上就看到鯉魚和烏龜都靠過來，不太好意思拿東西餵食。
門票相對便宜只要$150日幣，就能在庭園內消磨一個下午，園區內的植栽和造景，都相當的用心維護。
在日式優雅庭園內自由自在的閑逛，如果能夠喝上一杯綠茶配上和菓子，應該是種幸福的享受
沿著步道走可以欣賞庭園的造景，也可以跨過小橋走進水池中，庭園美景一覽無遺
