Mohri Garden Pond

萩の本欽一郎 via Google Maps

Nestled between the modern towers and cinema complex of Roppongi Hills, Mohri Garden offers a tranquil green sanctuary with roots stretching back to the late 18th century. Ringed by seasonal irises and lush greenery, the garden's central pond conceals an astonishing secret: its tiny silvery medaka (Japanese rice fish) are descendants of fish bred aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1994. Visitors can stroll the peaceful waterside pathways, enjoy a relaxing moment away from the city bustle, and peer into the shallows to spot these out-of-this-world aquatic inhabitants.
