Supervised by :  Tokyo Metropolitan Parks Association

The large 544,711.27㎡ site of this park is filled with water and greenery, something that you don’t often find in the heart of Tokyo.
The park is divided into two areas: the forest park to the north across the road, and the grassy park area to the south featuring an outdoor stage and fields.
During springtime around 800 cherry trees blossom beautifully, and the area around the south side’s fountain is particularly popular as a cherry blossom viewing location.
Visitors can also enjoy cycling on the 1.8km-long bike trail by renting bicycles (for a small fee). Furthermore, almost every weekend there are events held on the outdoor stage or at the event square on the south side, including gourmet food events and concerts, so it’s a popular spot for visitors.

Highlights

  • A park filled with nature located close to Shibuya and Harajuku.
  • 1.8km-long bike trail can be traversed by rental bicycle.

    In Tokyo, Yoyogi Park is also a great place for a relaxing walk. It isn't as crowded as the attractions in the city, and as soon as you enter the park, you immediately feel more at ease. The expansive lawns and tall trees make you temporarily forget Tokyo's hectic pace.

    The park is perfect for strolling slowly or sitting down to rest. You can also often see locals jogging, riding bicycles, or chatting with friends, giving it a real sense of everyday life in Tokyo.

    If you're planning to visit the Harajuku, Meiji Shrine, and Omotesando area, I highly recommend stopping by Yoyogi Park along the way. After exploring the lively streets, you can enjoy some peaceful greenery here, making the whole trip feel a little more relaxed!

    Inside the park, there's a gym designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The building's unique look really blends Japanese style elements.
