Such a beautiful, tranquil park with a lake in the middle. You can even hire out different boats for half an hour from a dock (row boats, Swan pedal boats) to take across the lake. I took a pedal boats with a friend. This was such a great and fun experience. There are also a few shrines around the park, and a few streets with eateries and shops to look around if you get bored. There's also a playground for little kids. The greenery is also spectacular, especially against the backdrop of the lake. I went during June but the park was still very lush. Highly recommend this spot as a nice break from the busy Tokyo city.

Around 1 hour by train from Ginza to Kichijoji, you can visit this beautiful vast park. There are a lot of things you can see and do here. They have a lot of different areas, from the lakes to the playground and baseball fields. Great for picnic! There is also the Ghibli Museum here. Make sure to book your ticket in advanced as they do not receive walk-in entry (April 2025 visit).

Wow, I was completely blown away how beautiful the park is. Clean, very well maintained, quiet and laid-back. And if you are familiar with Japanese animes and video games, you would have come across this park, and it looks exactly like how it was depicted. There are plenty of trails, and I think the park will look very different as seasons change. The park is open all year round, but I suggest avoiding visiting on a Tuesday, as most cafes are closed.

Absolutely beautiful in the 🍂autumn! I am it’s beautiful in all seasons. Easy walk with absolutely beautiful scenery. You may also choose to go on a small boat ride or visit their mini zoo!

a lake a bird park and a well preserved garden / park that has thick forest many resting and seating area and its near to train station within the park also has many cafe

With around 500 cherry blossom trees and a beautiful pond, Inokashira Park is a great cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo. The Ghibli Museum is located near the park.

Purposely visited this park because of Persona 5 Royal. It looks the same as the game! The park is also near Studio Ghibli museum. around 5-10 minutes by walking from the nearest station.

This zoo is great! There is a lot to see and do with the sculpture garden and history museum areas as well as a number of areas with animals. What I like about this one is it was very open and animals weren't squished into tiny pens like we have seen before (at Ueno Zoo for example). There is also a second area across the bridge to see the water birds and to walk through more of the area. It's very beautiful and nice for a relaxing day wandering around.

Lovely local zoo with both land and aquatic sections. Squirrel habitat is adorable! We spent a couple of hours there enjoying both sides of the zoo, and it's an easy walk to the Ghibli Museum.

Beautiful little park and zoo. Like an oasis in the middle of the city. Not Tokyo. But Kichijoji. More like a town vibe. There are two parts to the zoo on either side of the road. They even have some larger mammals like an elephant. Although I haven’t seen the elephant. But most animals are badgers or squirrels. Very cute. You can enter the squirrel cage and absence them closely.

Nice place for kids. Convenient in terms of transportation and price. You can take bus from Kunitachi station, Chofu station or Mitaka station and get down right in front of the zoo. Perfect for a day out!

It’s a great place to take a walk and enjoy the quiet time in summer.

I can't stress enough how beautiful this park is during cherry blossoms season late March and early April, I came during early April 2022, and the flowers were beginning wilt and were falling off. I recommend in late March. The experience was once in a life time especially for those not coming back to Japan anytime soon. One of the most memorable experiences in Japan.

A nice small zoo, good for about an hour or so with the kids. Children up to 12 go I'm for free and adults are only 400 ¥ so it's inexpensive addition to a walk in the park. Don't miss the squirrel trail.

Very cool Shinto Shrine near Kichijoji station. There are also some smaller shrines here too. This place is easy to find and on a busy city street. Not sure about parking. Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Medium sized Shinto Shrine, supporting some of the local Kichioji matsuris, like the Kichijoji Aki Matsuri in September. It has its own medium sized mikoshi, and during the matsuris, a number of food yatais and children's game booths, but can become quite crowded as there is just the one walking path which goes to the shrine. Unfortunately, during the matsuris, it seems the office for goshuin stamps is closed.

Had fun experiencing the festival here. :)

Nice well kept shrine.

A lovely shrine hidden away right in the middle of Kichijoji.

very calm shrine, very often visiting people, a little far from main station

Nice and peaceful place near busy area! Bit renovating at the moment (may 2017)

Fantastic local park, which has a more open aspect than most parks of a similar size. There is a good running route around the perimeter (mixed surface of tarmac and bark). Three public toilets and lots of good places for kids.

this park is very huge flat land, formerly was an airstrip used by US during occupation period. hardly to find a piece of flat surface carpeted by lushly green grass, at far end corner has 2 base ball grounds, kids and families cheerfully play there in every weekend. Also, groups of people like to fly kites and paper planes. an informal running trail surrounding the grass field, which mostly covered by tree shadow, it feels comfortable to run a few laps. surely this park is a sources offering healthy good life. please, fine to enjoy it.

This is a quite large park in northern Musashino City. On the edges of the park there are some trees and picnic tables which are great for taking a break sometime during the day. The center of the park is a large open field where people might play soccer or throw a frisbee or run around. Because there is so much open space without trees, this park is ideal in the spring and fall or on cool summer days. During the very hot summer months, you have to think carefully about getting enough sun protection if you're going to hang out here. There is no convenient nearby parking, so this park is ideal for people within walking or bicycle distance, and less desirable if you live farther away.

Very spacious, which is difficult to find, but the grass quality is quite low.

A beautiful and spacious park in Musashino City. There are also several convenience stores nearby. Families and friends gather on weekends and enjoy playing sports, having picnics and barbeques, and etc. Awesome place to go on sunny days.

A lovely, spacious and relaxing park. A good alternative to some of the busier parks in Musashino City.

Simple but great park bbq, tennis and sporting options. Also great for exercising, dogs and relaxing

Great place to visit

(Translated by Google) Available in September 2022. This is a shopping street on the north side of Kichijoji Station. The stores change quickly, so if you go back a month later, you'll see a new store open, so you won't get bored. On this day, we were having our first Autumn Festival in three years, and there was a mikoshi (portable shrine), and it was even more lively than usual. For Japanese people, festivals get them excited⤴︎⤴︎⤴︎ (Original) 2022年9月に利用。 吉祥寺駅の北側にある商店街です。 お店の新陳代謝が早いので、1ヶ月後に行くと新しいお店ができていて飽きません。 この日は、3年ぶりの秋祭りをやっていてお神輿が出て、いつも以上に賑やかでした。 日本人にとって祭りはテンション上がります⤴︎⤴︎⤴︎

If Inokashira Park is Kichijōji’s lungs, then Daiya Shopping Arcade is its beating heart. Just outside the station, this covered street pulls you straight into the neighborhood’s energy: crowds drifting between chain stores, independent shops, izakayas, & food stalls that seem to multiply the deeper you go. The vibe is distinctly Tokyo...organized chaos under a roof. You’ll find everything from discount liquor shops & vintage clothing racks to neatly arranged tea stores & gourmet snacks. Neon signage fights with hand-written boards & every few meters there’s another scent: fried skewers, fresh matcha, grilled yakitori. What makes this place work is the mix. You’ll pass people shopping for Louis Vuitton resale bags, kids tugging parents toward gachapon machines & couples debating which izakaya has the better drink deal. It’s both practical (daily essentials) & playful (late-night entertainment), & it doesn’t try to be polished - this is a working shopping street, not a curated tourist trap. The density of shops means you’ll always stumble across something unexpected, whether it’s a sake bargain bin or a boutique selling locally designed clothes. It’s the perfect entry point into Kichijōji’s nightlife...grab a drink here, then wander into the side alleys for yakitori or karaoke. Rain or shine, the covered arcade makes for a reliable stroll.

(Translated by Google) There are many shops around... waiting for you to explore slowly! (Original) 週邊很多商店...等你來慢慢發掘吧!

(Translated by Google) It was nice to eat noodles (Original) 麺食べれてよかったです

(Translated by Google) Perhaps due to the effects of the coronavirus, a number of various shops and tenants were closing or being replaced. Shops a little further away were also closed. As a local, there were some shops that were familiar to me, so I felt very lonely... However, in Kichijoji, new and various shops are constantly changing! ️ There's the charm of a new breeze coloring the streets of Kichijoji, and there's a lot of fun to be had such as walking, exploring the city, and shopping, so if you're in the area, be sure to take a look! ️Sato, a long-established butcher shop, has been featured on TV and will greet you with a surprise 🎵Please come visit us once the coronavirus has calmed down! ️The minced meat cutlet is super delicious 🎵 There is also a stall-style crepe shop 🎵 This is probably the number one crepe shop in Kichijoji that is cheap and delicious. There is always a line on weekends, so its popularity is guaranteed. Kichijoji is a stylish gourmet town 🎵 (Original) コロナの影響か何件かの様々なお店やテナントが閉店や入れ替りが目立っていましたね。少し外れた場所もお店が閉店していた。地元民としたら馴染みのお店も何件かあり、とてもさみしい気持ちになりましたね…… ただ吉祥寺は常に新しく様々なお店が入れ替り立ち替わりします‼️ 新しい風が吉祥寺の街並みを彩る魅力もあるしお散歩や街探や買い物等、色々楽しみもあるので近くに来たら是非覗いてみて下さい‼️老舗の肉屋サトウはテレビにも紹介されたびっくりがあなたを迎えてくれます🎵コロナが落ち着いたら足を運んで下さい‼️メンチカツが激ウマですよ🎵 屋台型のクレープ屋さんもあります🎵 おそらく吉祥寺ナンバーワンっと言って良い位安くて美味しいクレープ屋さんです🎵 週末なんて行列出来てますから人気度は保証します🎵 何気に吉祥寺はグルメなおしゃれな街です🎵

(Translated by Google) There are a variety of stores, including clothes, restaurants, glasses, pet supplies, dry goods, drug stores, etc. It's fun. I've been given an eco-bag when shopping a few times. Oh, there's a roof, so it's fine even on bad weather days. (Original) 服、飲食店、眼鏡、ペット用品、乾物、ドラッグストア・・・など様々なお店があって楽しいです。 何回か、買い物でエコバッグをもらえたりします。 あっ、屋根があるので天気の悪い日も大丈夫です

Fine. Some famed graduates. Campus can be pretty. Usually quiet. Often has flea markets during school festival.

They have a beautiful campus. It was a great experience to visit there.

amazing

Beautiful campus

it isn't cozy

(Translated by Google) I walked around town from Mejiro Station to Kichijoji Station! Toward the end of the day, I stopped by Seikei Gakuin for the first time. I lived in Mitaka during my four years of university, and Seikei Gakuin was within walking distance, but I never bothered to visit. Since I was able to stop by, I looked around the middle school, high school, and university campus. The school is spacious and I was jealous from the bottom of my heart as I watched the students relaxing on the lawn! The avenue lined with zelkova trees was quite nice. Although I wandered around the campus, I was able to avoid being called out for suspicious behavior. (Original) 街歩きで目白駅から吉祥寺駅まで歩きました！終盤、こちら成蹊学院に初めて立ち寄りました。大学の4年間は三鷹に居て、成蹊学院は徒歩圏内にあったが、一度もお邪魔することは無かったです。 折角立ち寄ることができたから、中学校、高校、大学構内を隈なく見て廻りました。学園は広々していて、芝生でおのおの寛ぐ学生さんらを観て心底から嫉みましたね！欅の並木道がなかなか良かったです。構内でウロウロしましたが、挙動不審者として声が掛けられることが回避出来ました。

(Translated by Google) This private university is located about a 20-minute walk on flat roads from Kichijoji Station. It has been there since elementary school. The facilities are very clean and there is plenty of support available. (Original) 吉祥寺駅から平坦な道を徒歩20分くらいのところにある私立大学です。小学校からあります。 設備がとても綺麗で、支援も充実しています。

it's a very small but interesting place. Admission fee was not expensive. the staff were very kind.

It was a nice place for me since I like unusual artworks and wanted to cover some free time in the district of Kichijoji. The entry fee is minimal and it won't take much time so it's worth visiting. The entrance is easy to miss because it's surrounded by so many different shops, so look attentively for the colourful signboard.

Probably worth checking out the exhibition schedule regularly. The one I visited by Chida Yasuhiro was mind blowing.

It's relatively snall but cozy.

(Translated by Google) --Tokyo Day 2-4-- Wednesday, August 20th. I went to the Musashino City Kichijoji Museum of Art in Kichijoji. Free admission for those 65 and older. This time, they were holding a special exhibition called "Little@Leaf Papercutting." I didn't know about it, but I had a blast. It was a small exhibition that only took about an hour to see the whole thing, but I was incredibly satisfied. There's something special about the joy I feel when I come across something like this. #LeafPapercutting (Original) ーー東京DAY2-4ーー 8/20水。吉祥寺の「#武蔵野市立吉祥寺美術館」にやって来ました。65歳以上無料。 今回は企画展で「リトル＠葉っぱ切り絵展」をやってました。 知ってて来たわけではありませんが、メッチャ楽しめました。１時間程度で全部見られる小規模な展示会でしたが、満足感は非常に高かったです。こう言うのに出会った時の楽しさは格別な物があります。 #葉っぱ切り絵

(Translated by Google) It was quiet and not many people, so I was able to enjoy the exhibition at a leisurely pace. I became a fan of Kitada after seeing his illustrations for "The Color of the Car is the Color of the Sky," but this was my first time seeing his original artwork. I was so engrossed in the exhibition that I stayed for about 90 minutes, even though there weren't many works. I highly recommend this exhibition. (Original) 静かで、人も多くなく、ゆっくり鑑賞できました。「車の色は空の色」の挿絵がきっかけで北田ファンになりましたが、原画を見るのは初めてでした。夢中になって見たので、作品数は多くないのに約90分滞在しました。おすすめの展覧会です♪

(Translated by Google) I visited first thing on a Saturday morning. Perhaps because it's a municipal art museum, the admission price was reasonable and the staff were very friendly. I visited because I was interested in the exhibits, but it's also easily accessible from Kichijoji Station, so I'd like to visit again if I have the opportunity. (Original) 土曜の朝一で訪問。 市立美術館ゆえか料金もお手頃で職員の方の対応も気持ちのよいものでした。展示内容に興味があったので伺いましたが、吉祥寺駅からのアクセスもよく、また機会があれば伺いたいと思いました。

Walking through this mall feels like wandering into a temple of middle-class aspiration: sleek, curated & just the right mix of practical & indulgent. You’ve got your daily staples (groceries, clothing, accessories), but then boom...you stumble across a L’Occitane & suddenly you’re rationalizing why a $40 hand cream is “self-care” & not financial sabotage. The layout is classic Tokyo retail: compact but efficient, vertical rather than sprawling, with just enough polish to make you feel like you’re in on a secret that everyone already knows. It’s not the chaotic consumer assault of Shibuya or Shinjuku...No, this is Kichijoji, after all. The vibe is more relaxed, more local, more we live here, not just pass through. What I loved: the variety of shops keeps you engaged without being overwhelming. You can pick up a pastry, wander into a bookstore & grab a French luxury brand moisturizer within the same five-minute orbit. It’s the kind of place where “just browsing” somehow translates into walking out with a bag. atré Kichijoji isn’t going to blow your mind, but it nails something rarer...it makes shopping feel civilized. You leave lighter in the wallet but oddly happier, which is basically the definition of retail success.

Large and bright shopping mall/area with a wide variety of shops and restaurants/cafe within station. Great place to wander if you arrive early to meet someone and have spare time. Doesn't feel dark or crammed even though it is positioned within a long and narrow area of land along the JR station area.

Great selection of stores and restaurants. The only downside is that it it constantly crowded.

Fun shopping mall that has everything you need from clothes to food to souvenirs, they've got everything! The shops are well organized and it's bright and warm inside. You can also get presents or fashion items at Atre.

I particularly like this Atre. It's quite narrow, but some areas are surprisingly spacious. It has a couple sections (it's best to ask the conceriage and take a map!) and I think it's fun to look around especially on a rainy day. It has everything, a grocery store with a butcher and fish market, glasses/photo stores, lingerie stores, a pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, a bookstore, an imported foods store, an organic food shop, and (of course) Starbucks. Not wheelchair friendly! There is a ramp and an elevator somewhere, but for baby strollers and wheelchairs, people will give you dirty looks.

Very nice building and well organized

Absolutely loved this shopping centre in Kichijoji during an extended stay. It was my local for food shopping and especially the wonderful must visit sushi restaurant in the lower floor. Always oversubscribed but has a very efficient automatic booking system. Sushi prepared freshly in front of you by several sushi chefs. The complimentary egg appetiser was Oishi! A hot egg custard with a touch of mushroom, prawn, a tiny bit of edamame bean & sliver of chives served in a tiny cup. The Mango sorbet is the softest, most delicate and flavoursome sorbet I have tasted on earth. However, all food ordered have to be consumed in-house, no doggie bags allowed! No eyes bigger than your belly unless you are prepared to leave it. Atre is also close enough to the famed delicious Steak House Satou where the queues for the meatballs are long but worth it. A must to visit! This shopping centre holds the finest Kichijoji offers, in terms of souvenir food gifts, patisserie, boutiques, cafes, even a Gong Cha (a bubble tea outlet), a Cinnabon (an unforgettable aroma wafting through the air of some NY air terminal) and much, much more!

Awesome shopping mall that has a free play area for all the little kids. My little one had a lovely time at the play area and the nursing room in the mall was extremely clean and pleasant. Would definetly visit Coppice again for my next trip to Kichijoji.

Wonderful selection of shops from high brands to specialised stuff. I like the bookshop and kaldi, but my daughter likes the floor dedicated to cute girly stuff. My wife like the terrace and clothes. Also has a new game centre

There are many shops in this multi story shopping building. Most of the are not notable, so browse them if you are in the area but don't bother a trip down if you aren't. The only exception is Kaldi Coffee, which is a chain import food shop, amd this branch is the biggest in Musashino. For local residents who want foreign groceries, this is the place to go.

Interesting mix of stores, catering to a wide variety of needs. The stores I shopped in were well organised and had what I was looking for.

『らすぷーる』 老舗の洋食屋✨らすぷーるオムレツは不思議な食感だけどめっちゃ美味しくて癖になります(≧▽≦) 茄子と豚の生姜焼きは生姜と甘めのタレのマッチングが最高✨✨ご飯がススミます(≧∇≦)b

Nice assortment of clothes and furniture. quiet. 🌱 Level 3 has a very cute character stickers and merch store (=^･ｪ･^=)U

Seems like a very nice small, though we only visited a few stores. Japanese pronunciation of "coppice" was quite confusing, as three syllables. When my wife told me to do some research on it, I had no idea what I was looking for and could not find it. Try KO P say in Japanese.

Nice temple but the main building is undergoing reconstruction unfortunately. You can get Goshuin from the white building next to it.

Nice temple with cemetery and parking lot. It provides a quiet retreat from the street, but there is only the main entrance from the south open (no exit through the North as those are through apartment complexes).

Here is the grave of my mother's parents.

Back in 1999-2000, I was living in Seki-machi Higashi. The temple used to have a monthly Zazen open to the public. I started with White Plum Asanga in 1995 and it was more difficult than expected to find a Soto.shu temple that held Zazen sessions open to the public. Centro Zen the Mexico was open everyday in those days, so it was strange for me that Gessoji was open to the public only once a month... Everybody was very nice and welcoming.

Little Buddhist temple accessible from the shopping street.

It is conveniently near the crowded Sunroad. Its graveyard has an eerie atmosphere!

Peaceful place with Sakura tree view on early March

Lots of things to find here. And there is a store for each one of them.

Nice shopping mall by the station over several floors, many nice shops inside

Things were available regarding kitchen and other

Elevator and wheel access consistently backed up. It's hard to enjoy a store when you cannot get into it. Even during quiet weekday hours customers ignore signs and ride elevators for wheelchairs, strollers and those with physical ailements. There needs to be staff, especially on weekends. Train access to the Inokashira line is very slow because of this too.

The kind of shopping building attached to many of the larger train stations in Tokyo, this one is typically not overly crowded on its upper floors. Has a big Yuzawaya.

Easy to navigate, good signage and wheelchair accessible. Lift wait isnt too long

Another underground shopping maze; go if you want to feel like a mole. Personally, I hate how disorienting these can be!

Went to Parco’s BBQ Days with friends. A great place to enjoy barbeque, as the place is quite spacy with affordable price. Besides the dept store is kids friendly too. It has various shops, branded items and also restaurant for brunch to dinner.

A Japanese department store. Has a coop indie theater in the basement and an eclectic selection of shops.

Shopping district. About the size of 2 blocks. Gonna pay attention the the smaller lanes as there are lots of restaurants located inside.

We went into this while searching for baby room. I am so glad to see that almost every other floor in this building has baby room and most of them are spacious and well maintained. Also good shopping deals are available all the seasons.

So animate 8th floor is fun. Fifth floor is a musical instrument shop where I finally got my flute it’s okay service was good.

For men fashion, there are only few brands and small stores. 0101 is better than Parco.

Really boring to be honest. Not much for male fashion, it's more oriented for female customers. Saving grace is the Village Vanguard and AniMate.

(Translated by Google) Bishamonten of Enmeiji Temple. I pray as much as possible on Tora no Hi. May it be of benefit to you. (Original) 延命寺の毘沙門天様。寅の日にはなるべくお参りしています。ご利益がありますように。

(Translated by Google) This is a quiet and tranquil temple. The Nio statues at the entrance create a powerful atmosphere. The beautifully maintained grounds bring a sense of peace. Bishamonten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Musashino, is enshrined here, making it a recommended place to pray for blessings.

(Translated by Google) Below the Heiwa Kannon statue (erected in 1977) in the shrine grounds, there are fragments of a 500-pound (approximately 227 kg) American bomb that fell near Musashino Women's Academy (currently Musashino University), located about 800 meters west-northwest of here. It is written. During the air raid on the adjacent Nakajima Aircraft Musashi Plant, bombs also fell on the temple grounds, causing many casualties in the surrounding area. Furthermore, at Genshoji Temple, which is adjacent to the east, the tombstone that was severely damaged during the air raid on the Musashi Factory still remains without being replaced at the wishes of the bereaved family. (Original) 境内の平和観音像（1977年建立）の下には、此処から約800m西北西に位置する武蔵野女子学院（現武蔵野大学）付近に落下したアメリカ軍の500ポンド（約227㎏）爆弾の破片が置かれてある。 隣接の中島飛行機武蔵製作所への空襲では、境内にも爆弾が落下し、周辺地域では多くの犠牲者が出た。 なお、東に隣接する源正寺には、武蔵製作所への空襲時に大きく破損した墓石がご遺族の意向で建替えることなく今も残されている。

(Translated by Google) I visit the Seven Lucky Gods every year. It seems that the promotion of the power spot called Encounter Tathagata began a few years ago. For buses other than the Shichifukujin Meguri, I think the Inari Jinja-mae bus stop is the closest. During the Shichifukujin Meguri period, in addition to serving amazake (amazake) at the tent, pickles, sweets, and roasted sweet potatoes will also be sold. Also, depending on the day, you can enjoy demonstrations of picture-story shows and Nankin Tamasudare. For both transportation and enjoyment, we recommend visiting during the Shichifukujin Meguri period. However, please refrain from bringing free amazake onto the bus, as it is against bus etiquette. (Original) 毎年七福神めぐりで参拝しています。数年前から出会い如来というパワースポットのアピールも始まったようです。 七福神めぐり以外のバスでは、稲荷神社前バス停が近いかと思います。 七福神めぐり期間では、テントで甘酒サービスの他に、漬物やお菓子、焼き芋の販売もあります。また、日によっては紙芝居や南京玉すだれの実演があり楽しめます。 交通の面でも楽しみの面でも、七福神めぐり期間での訪問がオススメです。 ただ、無料サービスの甘酒をバスに持ちこむのは乗車マナー違反ですので控えましょう。

(Translated by Google) For a temple, it is very easy to enter. Thank you for taking the time to visit. It's a good place to relax. (Original) お寺にしては、とても入りやすい作り。 折角なので、ありがたく拝観。 憩いの場としてもいい場所だね。
