Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens in June 2013

Koishikawa Korakuen had built in early EDO period.
It's takes less than 20 min. on foot from Hotel Niwa Tokyo.

 The main gate of this park.

As this gate is usually closed, you have to enter from the west gate in the opoisit side.

There are small mountains, valleys, pond, bridges, and old Japanese houses in the park.

Now the irises are in full bloom.
There are 660 irises here!
You may be able to enjoy them until the end of June.

When I looked at the irises, Spot billed duck "Karugamo" famillies came out.
The chicks were so cute!
