A garden built in the early 1800s, when the townspeople's culture blossomed. Sawara Kiku has rebuilt it as a flower garden based on the traces of Mr. Taga's former residence.
Since it was built by leading culture experts during the Edo era, you can feel the unique beauty of the common people different from the Feudal lord garden.
Famous plants that appear in Chinese and Japanese classics are gathered. The plum tree is the base, and Lespedeza thunbergii, Japanese pampas grass, etc, bloom throughout the four seasons.
It is said that the origin of the name Hundred Flower Garden was attached in the meaning of "Plum blossoms in a hundred flowers and blossoms" or "The garden which a hundred types of flowers are blooming in profusion within each of the four seasons.”
In 1964, it was donated to Tokyo City and leads to its present condition. In October 1978, this garden received a designation as one of the “National scenic spots and historical sites” by the Cultural Property Protection Law.
