By examining maps, pictures and literatures illustrated and published in Edo and Meiji eras, this study aims to identify the use of temple gardens in Edo era and their transformation processes during Meiji era. Having Edo, former Tokyo, as a case study, the study identified two principal uses of temple gardens in Edo era as (a) a place for receiving dignitary guests and (b) a place for the general publics entertainment. Dignitary guests were received at gardens in "honbo (principal temple)" and "shi-in (branch temple)" while gardens established in "keidai-chi (precinct)" were opened for the use of the general public. The study also identified that more than 40% of the gardens found in Edo era were destroyed and transformed into other uses in Meiji era, while the rate of extinct gardens in shi-in was significantly higher than that in honbo and keidai-chi.
