小石川植物園
Not one of the great gardens of Japan and sometimes a bit shabby, but a pleasant stroll with interesting trees, a medicinal herb garden and several ponds. Not to be confused with Koishikawa Korakuen.
小石川後楽園
Laid out in the 17th century, this splendid traditional garden boasts a large collection of trees and flowering plants that provide touches of beauty all year round. Winding paths, wooded hills, ponds teeming with ducks and fish. The place can be a little crowded at certain times of year (such as during the cherry blossom season in late March-mid April), but there's plenty of room for everyone.
文京シビックセンター bunkyō shibikku sentaa
The lavish government building for the Bunkyo ward of Tokyo, once described in the Japan Times as "a colossal Pez candy dispenser." A free observation deck on the 25th floor, jutting out of the top like the Starship Enterprise, commands a fine view of much of Tokyo.
