Inokashira Park, officially known as “Inokashira Imperial Gift Park,” is famous for its lush greenery and large pond. While beloved for cherry blossom viewing and strolls, did you know it's also a place steeped in history? The “Ochanomizu” (Tea Water) within the park is famous for being where Tokugawa Ieyasu once prepared tea. You'll also find the “Benzaiten” statue by the pond, said to govern financial fortune, and a statue originating from the “White Snake Legend”... We highly recommend taking a leisurely stroll through the park.
Benzaiten, one of Japan’s eight lucky gods, is actually the octet’s sole goddess.She’s also the Japanese incarnation of the Hindi goddess Sarasvati and a patron of the arts.Her realm is the waters, which is why you’ll find this shrine on an island in Inokashira-park’s central pond.
Speaking of Inokashira Park, it must be a boat. You can row a colorful boat or swan boat at this pond. The scenery from spring to winter on board is also impressive. Some Japanese teenagers believe an funny rumor that a boy and girl who row a bot at Inkoashira park will break up” because God of Benzaiten get jealous!
The third Shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa said to have named the monument “Inokashira”. He graved “Inokashira” which means the source on the Magnolia kobus when visiting here for a falconry.
You can see the nature itself here. There are secret windows to watch wild birds that even small children can also use. This area is preserved for wild birds which like lush green places.
