Komagome Rikugien Park"Weeping cherry tree and Daimyo garden"
As far as I'm concerned this is the best "secret" Japanese garden in Tokyo. You can visit it in Komagome, Bunkyo-ku during it's special evening hours ---it's romantic and classy place to put on your best moves with plenty of dark nooks and more than plenty of love hotels next to the park. :P
Location: 6-16-3, Hon-Komagome, Bunkyou-ku, Tokyo
Seven minutes walk from the Komagome Station, JR Yamanote
Loop Line, Nanboku Subway Line
Special hours 2004 March 19 to 28 for 9 o'clock - 21:00 (entrance to the garden closes 20:30 )

This park was constructed in 1695 by Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa the sub-Shogun of Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokygawa in the Edo era. This park has the best you can see today of the trad-garden style of Edo.
