Access
There are two entrances to the main garden: the west gate and the east gate. On the map, Korakuen Station (Metro Marunouchi Line / Metro Namboku Line) is the closest, but if you are heading from Korakuen Station, you will have to walk about half way around the perimeter to finally arrive at the west gate.
The distance is about the same if you go from Iidabashi Station (JR Chuo-Sobu Line / Metro Tozai Line / Metro Yurakucho Line / Metro Namboku Line / Toei Oedo Line). Probably the shortest route is walking from Suidobashi Station (JR Chuo-Sobu Line / Toei Mita Line) towards the east gate.
