The biggest plus is how clean the environment is. The air is great, the views are nice, and it’s a really pretty place for photos. It feels especially nice during cherry blossom season in spring or in the fall.
It’s pretty convenient since you can get there by subway, but the park is really big, so be prepared to do a lot of walking.
