Garden at the Tokyo National Museum

The Tokyo National Museum is a fantastic year-round destination for any visitor, but those who stop in during the springtime will have the chance to wander the museum's traditional Japanese garden. Open only for a few weeks in April, the grounds boast six beautiful tea houses that were moved to the property from various regions in Japan. The blooming cherry trees are a true highlight, but even when the petals have fallen, the paths still make for a peaceful stroll. The garden is free with the purchase of any regular admission ticket to the museum.
