Kyu-Furukawa Gardens (旧古河庭園, kyū-furukawa teien) is a Tokyo metropolitan park in Kita, Tokyo. The park includes an old western-style building, a rose garden, and a Japanese-style garden.

History

The western-style building and western-style gardens were designed and built in 1917 by Josiah Conder. The land was at one time home to the politician Mutsu Munemitsu.[1] The park in its current state was opened to the public in 1956.

Access

General admission is 150 yen. The park is open daily until 5 PM. It is a quick walk from Kami-Nakazato Station on the JR Keihin-Tōhoku Line or Nishigahara Station on the Tokyo Metro Nanboku Line
