Yet, if one were to patiently scratch beneath the shimmering surface, you may find a city where the new values the old. Tradition and culture is very much present in this city that has a history that is as glorious as its present.
Taking a look at what Japan is most famous for, bonsai! the Bonsai Park is a wonderful place to explore the origin and many ways to accomplish the art. Located in the north east part of the city, this popular attraction in Tokyo is a must-visit. Founded in the early 1920s, visitors can expect to see over a hundred miniature trees that have been carefully cultivated to perfection.
The primary focus of a bonsai creation is for the pleasure of the beholder, through the effort of the person who grew it. The oldest bonsai trees can be found in Tokyo, and the Bonsai Park holds some of the best. An annual event called the Great Bonsai Festival plays tribute to this age old art form and is held at the park.
