Shin-Edogawa Garden

新江戸川公園Shin-Edogawa Garden (新江戸川公園) is a Japanese stroll garden located close to Chinzanso Garden. Though it is not so large and may not be attractive enough to take your time for this place alone, together with Chinzanso, it may be attractive.
In the Edo period, This garden was part of a suburban residence of Hosokawa clan, the daimyo (domain lord) who ruled major part of modern-day Kumamoto Prefecture. When the feudal times ended, this place became the main residence of the Hosokawa family. After the Second World War, it changed hands and became a public park. As for the buildings, only a study house constructed in the early 20th century is left here.
It's a 15-min walk from Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line Edogawabashi Station, or a 5-min walk from Toden Arakawa Line Waseda Station (not to be confused with the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line's Waseda Station).
