I like first rest point "takimi no chaya" (if you walk clock wise) but here does not serves green tee.

"fukiage no chaya" (left) green tea and japanese sweet (right)

After 5 minits walking, you can drink tee and eat japanese sweet at "fukiage no chaya" ("chaya" means tee house) by 500 yen.I reccomend it.

Rikigien is very greenly so exist a lot of birds (ex. pegeon). You'll enjoy to watch them.

At last a lot of crows in Rikugien. If not crowdy day, crows is very noisy and fly everyware. So you should choice crowdy day or not crowdy but many crows day.
