Former Furukawa Gardens
The gardens were built as the residence of Toranosuke Furukawa, the third head of the Furukawa conglomerate. Taking advantage of its location on the slopes of the Musashino Plateau, a Western-style mansion was built on a small hill on the north side, and a Western-style garden was placed on the pitch, while a Japanese-style garden was placed on the lower ground.
It's pretty rare to see both Japanese and Western-style gardens in one place. Whether you're a fan of garden design or just curious, you'll definitely find something interesting here.

Rikugien Gardens
Starting in 1695, Rikugien was constructed over 7 years as a Japanese garden of undulating scenery. Designed in the Kaiyushiki style, it features strolling paths around ponds and hills. It is designated by the Japanese government as a Special Place of Scenic Beauty.
Cherry blossom viewing here is nice, but it gets way too crowded, so it's hard to really enjoy the scenery.
