- Japanese: 向島 百花園 (mukoujima hyakkaen)
Mukôjima Hyakkaen, or Mukôjima Hundred Flowers Garden, is a Japanese garden located in the Mukôjima area of Tokyo.
The garden was first established in 1805, when Edoite Sahara Kikura obtained some 3,000 tsubo from the former grounds of a Taga clan mansion. With the help of several other literati, he planted a great number of plum trees, creating a garden which was initially known as 'Shin ume yashiki (New Plum Mansion). The gardens quickly came to be a popular site for local people to relax and enjoy themselves.
Shogun Tokugawa Ieyoshi paid a formal visit to the garden in 1845, in order to view the plum blossoms.
