Thank you very much for joining our tour on May 26.
We welcomed 21 guests from Argentina, US, UK, Malaysia, Philippines, France, Canada, Bulgaria and Australia.
All of us enjoyed strolling in some groups in the East Gardens.
The last guide point of our tour is Ninomaru Garden which is a part of East Gardens. .
In Tokugawa Shogunate time, this area used to be the second palace compound of Edo Castle where Shogun`s family lived.
Prior to the opening of East Gardens of the Imperial Palace in 1968, only the garden of the second palace was reconstructed at the same place as the original (Edo period) garden referring to a diagram of the mid of 18th century.
This Ninomaru Garden has a traditional Japanese garden style, so-called “a circuit style garden with central pond “ which highlights the natural landscape.
Rocks, small hills, waterfalls and a wide variety of flowers and trees are arranged around a central pond.
It shows different faces according to the season.
From late May to early June, Japanese irises (Sward leaved irises) are in full bloom.
84 kinds of irises are planted in the field in front of the pond.
They are very elegant and lovely now!!
