Shukkeien Garden in Naka Ward. A miniature landscape garden with a central pond crossed by an arched rainbow bridge, stepping-stones, tea-house nooks and koi and turtles to spot along the path.
Why children love it: A miniature landscape garden with a central pond crossed by an arched rainbow bridge, stepping-stones, tea-house nooks and koi and turtles to spot along the path.
Honest drawbacks: Paths include narrow stepping-stones and unfenced pond edges, so toddlers need a close hand; it is a stroll rather than a play space.
