Distributor :  TokyoStreetView - Japan The Beautiful

Happo-en is far from your average gorgeous hidden Japanese garden in central Tokyo. While its history still eludes me, it is said that Happo-en was the cherished mansion of Ōkubo Tadataka throughout his life 1560~1639 (also known as Ōkubo Hikozaemon). It is however after 1951 that Happo-en became what it is today and took its current name. Many people incorrectly translate this name to “a garden beautiful from any angle” while in fact the most accurate translation is “Garden of Eight Views”.
Now what’s different about Happo-en is that this garden is just the visible tip of the iceberg, while in fact the core business of the location is to celebrate weddings and others events with a wide selection of facilities made to please those people looking for something more traditional.
You can rest assured that you do not need to participate in a wedding nor any other kind of special event to visit this park, indeed the park is open all year long and with free access to anyone. If you are curious about Japanese culture and need either to enjoy a traditional Japanese tea ceremony or you’re looking for a traditional Japanese lunch in a unique environment, be sure to contact one of the Happo-en staff to make a reservation!

Happo-en se distingue des autres jardins magnifiques cachés dans le centre de Tokyo. Son histoire racconte qu’il s’agissait du manoir le plus précieux d’Okubo Tadataka (1560~1639), aussi connu sous le nom d’Okubo Hikozaemon. Ce n’est cependant qu’en 1951 que Happo-en est devenu tel qu’il est aujourd’hui, et sous ce nom. D’ailleurs, beaucoup de gens traduisent ce nom à tort tel que “Jardin beau sous tous ses angles” alors que le terme exact serait “Jardin des huit vues”.
Or ce qui rend Happo-en unique est que son jardin n’est que la partie visible de l’iceberg. En effet, l’intérêt (et le business) réel de cet endroit est de proposer un large choix d’installations pour célébrer des noces, ou tout autre événement qu’un client souhaiterait célébrer de manière plus traditionnelle qu’ailleurs.
Soyez rassurés, vous n’aurez nul besoin de participer à des noces pour visiter ce parc ! Le parc est bel et bien ouvert à tous tout au long de l’année, et à titre gratuit. Si vous avez envie de découvrir la culture japonaise et souhaitez expérimenter la cérémonie du thé ou avoir un repas traditionnel dans un environement unique, prenez le soin de reserver !
