For much of the [[Edo period]], this area was the mansion of a ''[[hatamoto]]'' family. In the [[Bakumatsu]] period, it came to be the "lower estate" (''shimo yashiki'') of the [[Shimizu Tokugawa clan]], and then of the [[Hitotsubashi Tokugawa clan]], and finally of the Hosokawa clan (lords of [[Kumamoto han]]), before the fall of the [[Tokugawa shogunate]].

The land changed hands several times in the first half of the 20th century, before opening in 1961 as a public park owned/operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. In 1975, it came to be owned and operated by Bunkyô-ku. The Shôseikaku hall located within the gardens is still used today to host fancy receptions and meetings.
