1 / 4

Tokugawaen Garden is a Japanese garden located in Nagoya. The property belonged to a family within the Tokugawa clan that ruled Japan during the early modern period (1600-1867). The family donated the property to Nagoya city in the 1930s. Unfortunately, the garden was destroyed during World War Two. It was reconstructed through funds raised from the public and stands today as a prime example of Japanese garden design and architecture that was popular with samurai families. Next to the garden is the Tokugawa Museum that houses some of the family's treasures.
