The garden is a prime example of an Edo Period strolling garden, featuring a large central pond surrounded by manmade hills and forested areas, all connected by a network of trails.
• Odaiba District - Odaiba (お台場) is a popular shopping and entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. It began as a set of small fort islands (daiba means “fort”), built towards the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868) to protect Tokyo from potential sea attacks, particularly in response to Commodore Perry’s gunboat diplomacy.

Over a century later, the small islands were joined into larger ones through massive landfills, and Tokyo launched a spectacular development project in the 1980s to transform the islands into a futuristic residential and business district. However, development slowed significantly after the burst of the “bubble economy” in the early 1990s, leaving Odaiba nearly vacant.
