In the middle of the downtown Tokyo district of Ebisu, there is a green oasis where people can forget about the hustle and bustle of city life. The new garden at The Westin Tokyo in Yebisu Garden Place is called The Westin Garden and was opened this April to let guests enjoy a refreshing time in the invigorating scent of the woods. Making it through this year's extremely hot summer, the garden is busily flourishing.
The garden was created in collaboration with Kazuyuki Ishihara, a pioneering landscape artist and the first Japanese designer ever to win five gold medals in succession at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, which is one of the most famous flower shows in the world.
The European-theme garden emphasizes nature and aims to highlight the best of Ishihara's creative design, including his renowned skills using moss and European elegance that make the garden enjoyable from any perspective. The garden, facing The Lounge and The Bar on the lobby level, is intended to help guests outside and within feel rejuvenated.
