伝法院庭園

A limited time opening garden of Asakusa temple. A very good design Darren and the background to see the skytree.

浅草寺の参道とホッピー通りの間に佇む庭園です。特別公開の時にしか入場できない様です。数年前に、偶然公開していたので入りました。周りの雑多な喧噪離れて、穏やかな時間が庭園池の流れと同時に流れます。
伝法院の背に、スカイツリーも拝めて中々のシャッターチャンスです。

Dembōin Teien, or Dembōin garden is a garden adjacent to the famous Senso-ji temple in Asakusa. It is pretty large and is one beautiful place in this Asakusa area. Being a private garden of Sensō-ji temple’s abbot it is normally not open to public, only open for a short time period each year usually from mid-March until early May. In the olden days it was only open to nobles.

The circuit-style garden is approximately 10,000 square meters and has as its main feature a two section large pond. The garden was designed by Kobori Enshu (1579–1647), who was a celebrated garden designer and tea-ceremony master, notable Japanese artist and aristocrat in the reign of the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543–1616, reign as shogun 1603–1605). He is famous for his design work for gardens all over Japan.

This is a very tranquil place in a busy environment in Asakusa area in Tokyo. A wonderful place for a moment of contemplation or just cooling down from your hectic day. At least once a year. But I heard it is open to public again sometime during autumn - need further information and confirmation though.

They told me not to take videos but i had already taken a video before i was notified soo

東京屈指の観光地浅草にある、とても静かで美しい庭園です。年に一度開放されるのを楽しみにしていますが、お庭の池には大きな蛇が泳いでいて驚きました。庭園の管理の方に聞いてみると、昔からこちらに住んでいる、浅草在住の蛇さんらしいです。なんだか良いことが起きそうな予感がします。

I guess it was closed because of the renovation works or it's really difficult to get there. The nicest area was not available for visits
