One of the reasons why Chinzanso Garden is so cherished by Japanese guests is that it stands on the grounds of a famous historical place: Camellia Hill, or Tsubakiyama, mentioned in old chronicles from more than 500 years ago. After the imperial restoration of the Meiji era in 1868, the former Camellia Hill became the property of Duke Yamagata Aritomo (1838-1922), a prominent statesman. He built his residence and a splendid Japanese garden on these grounds. You can feel the many centuries of history at every corner of Chinzanso Garden.

One of the very few remaining pagodas in Tokyo, the Three-Story Pagoda located on top of the hill in the garden has become the symbol of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo.
