International Greeter Day 2019 in Tokyo
Higo-Hosokawa Garden is located about 4km north west of the Imperial Palace and where the Kanda river meets the Sekiguchi plateau in Tokyo. The garden was originally constructed on a residential site for a retainer of the Tokugawa Shogun in the Edo period. It features a varied landscape with a forest on the slope and a pond drawing water from the stream.
Tokyo Greeters hosted an International Greeter Day 2019 event in and around the garden. Participants enjoyed a quiz competition at an old Japanese style house, and a walking tour in the neighborhood. It was a great way to meet local Greeters and have fun as well.
