Shunkaen Bonsai Museum (春花園Bonsai美術館)

Shunka-en is the Bonsai garden and museum set up by Bonsai master Kunio Kobayashi. The garden is an absolute highlight and should not be missed when you visit Tokyo. When entering the garden the first thing you are likely to note is the stunning old Juniper tree in front of the house, one of the masterpiece trees of Mr. Kobayashi’s collection. Trees are rotated and sold of course, but the courtyard always features an eye-catching tree. Inside the house several tokonoma are set up and a large collection of books and antique Chinese pots and tables are displayed.
