Hama Rikyu Garden or Hama-rikyu Onshi Teien is a landscape garden surrounding Shioiri Pond. The park itself is surrounded by a seawater moat filled by Tokyo Bay. It was remodeled as a public garden park on the site of a villa of the Shogun Tokugawa family in the 17th century. Visitors can also enjoy Japanese tea and sweets at a tea house in the middle of the pond, called Nakajima-no-Ochaya in the garden that offers matcha tea and Japanese sweets.
