1. Hibiya Park

During the Edo period (1603–1867), a large number of high-ranking feudal loads resided on the Hibiya Park property. The park was renovated and given the distinction of being Japan's first Westernized park. It debuted in 1903 as a modern city park innovator.

 

In 1961, the large fountain that serves as the park's emblem was placed in its middle. Through the course of the year, visitors can enjoy various seasonal flowers and plants, such as cherry blossoms in the spring and autumn-hued leaves in the fall. In this park, there are two ponds. One of them is called "Shinji-Ike" and was formerly a portion of the old moat that encircled the Edo castle. The other is "Kumogata-Ike" with a huge crane fountain in the middle.

One of Tokyo's largest parks, Ueno Onshi opened 140 years ago and is home to a number of tourist attractions, including a sizable pond, numerous museums, a five-story pagoda, temples, a zoo, and more. Every year, the trees such Japanese zelkova, ginkgo, camphor, and others are gorgeously colored as yellow and red from the middle of November to the beginning of December. Autumn is when ginkgo trees along the S-shaped garden path turn yellow. You can take pleasure in ginkgo, maple, and zelkova's stunning colors.

3. Hamarikyu Onshi Teien

During the Edo Era of the 11th Tokugawa Shogunate, the current garden was finished. The garden was used by the Imperial family as a standalone palace in 1870 during the Meiji restoration. Both the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923 and the World War 2 bombings in 1945 caused damage to the garden.

 

The garden was renovated in 1946 and is now used by the entire public. You can feel how well the towering rises of the Shiodome commercial buildings combine with the traditional Japanese garden. Every year, from the middle of November until the first few days of December, you may enjoy the stunningly colored autumn leaves on maple, goby, and trident maple trees.

4. Imperial Palace & East Garden

After the Meiji Restoration, the Emperor moved from Kyoto Imperial Palace to Tokyo, and the Edo Castle, which had been the Tokugawa Family's residence, became the Imperial Palace. Only twice a year, at the start of each year and on the emperor's birthday, is the main residence of the Emperor open to the public.

 

The main tower of the former Edo castle and the Ninomaru Garden are two prominent locations of the Imperial Palace's East Garden. The garden has a variety of seasonal flowers and plants. The view is enjoyable all year long. It's a really lovely Japanese garden. You can enjoy the autumn leaves of Konara oak, sawtooth oak, maple, and other trees that are planted at Ninomaru Miscellaneous Forest throughout the autumnal season.

5. Avenue of Gingko trees in the Meiji shrine's (Jingu Gaien) outer garden

One of the most well-known places to see the autumnal colors of the leaves in Tokyo is the avenue of gingko trees.
Approximately 150 gingko trees were initially planted on either side of the avenue where the 400-meter-long magnificent golden arch stood in 1923.

6. Rikugien Gardens

The fifth Shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, a powerful feudal lord, designed this garden. Iwasaki Yataro, who established the Mitsubishi banking empire during the Meiji era (1868–1912), acquired ownership of the garden. Later in 1938, the Tokyo-owned garden was made open to the public.

 

The Rikugien Garden is an example of a feudal load garden and a typical traditional strolling-type landscape garden. You can make out a sizable central pond with islands, artificial hills, and dense tree groves. There are various teahouses along the trails that round the garden. During the autumn leaf season, roughly 400 maple trees, 560 ginkgo trees, and so forth are planted all throughout.

Mutsu Munemitsu, a politician and diplomat during the Meiji era (1868–1912), once owned this garden. The Furukawa family built the existing structure in 1917. In 1956, Tokyo Metropolitan Garden was made publicly accessible after ownership was given to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

 

This garden was listed as a Tokyo cultural asset. A Western-style home constructed on a tiny hill, a Japanese garden with a pond developed in the lowlands, and a western-style rose garden situated on a slope and in the lower grounds are the three primary elements of this garden.

 

About 220 maple trees are dying the garden from the middle of November to the beginning of December. The garden's vivid red, yellow, and green contrast can be enjoyed from the observatory and the area's surrounding Western-style structures.

8. Shinjuku Gyoen

In 1906, the Shinjuku Imperial Garden was finished. After the Second World War, the park was reconstructed as a National garden and made public in 1949. Three different garden types can be found in this space: a traditional Japanese-style walking garden with winding walks around the pond, a French-style garden with lovely symmetry, and an English-style garden with roomy grassy lawns.

 

One of Tokyo's top places to view autumnal foliage is this garden. Ginkgo and maple leaves in the fall can be seen in a variety of locations, including Momiji Mountain, the Japanese Garden, Hahanoko no Mori, and others.
