The 44 best sakura spots in Tokyo

Convenient location, just a short walking distance from the station, the zoo, and plenty of restaurants & shops. It’s also spacious, making it a great spot for running or jogging. While it’s especially popular during cherry blossom season, the park is just as enjoyable in the summer, with its wide greenery and relaxing atmosphere. That said, I don’t really enjoy the presence of a few loiterers in certain areas, which can make the park feel a bit less comfortable at times. Still, overall it remains a pleasant place to spend time, whether for a walk, some light exercise, or simply to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

A fun trip to the museum/park for a special gift! 🎁 ​My kid wanted to grab a birthday gift for a friend at the museum today, so we drove over. Man, it was absolutely packed! 😅 Couldn't even get into the underground parking, so we ended up using the partnered lot at Matsuzakaya. ​Right by the entrance, they had this amazing European-style Christmas Market event going on! 🎄 The park itself was gorgeous with all the stunning fall foliage—everyone was taking photos! 📸 ​This place is seriously cool: a stylish café, a zoo, art museums, and regular museums... it's such a charming and versatile park! Highly recommend checking it out. ✨

Euno Park is huge and completely free to enter, making it a perfect spot to spend a day outdoors. The park looks different in every season, and each view is absolutely mind-blowing. It features a zoo and a museum, adding to the variety of things to do. One of the highlights is the large lake—if you venture inside, you can enjoy a boat ride with spectacular views. There’s also a shrine where you can offer a prayer, adding a peaceful touch to the visit. Euno Park is most famous for its cherry blossom festival, where thousands of blooming trees, lights, music, and delicious food create an unforgettable vibe. It’s truly a must-visit place. Even if you just sit by the lake and watch the water, it’s a perfect way to enjoy your me-time.

Ueno Park is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Tokyo! It’s a perfect mix of nature, culture, and history! There’s always something to enjoy — locals relaxing, families picnicking, and street performers adding to the lively atmosphere. The park is also beautifully maintained and easily accessible by train. If you visit Tokyo, Ueno Park is a must-see, especially during sakura season — it truly captures the heart of Japan.

I came here at sunset and the park was still packed, but not noisy at all. It is beautiful and there are lots of things to see and places to explore, so I believe it’s worth coming back to and maybe in the morning as some of the attractions nearby were closing when I arrived. There’s a train station nearby (Ueno), so it is easily accessible by public transportation. I loved the unique lamps! Just don’t simply pass by them, try to enjoy the artwork 👌

A beautiful and cultural escape in Tokyo! Ueno Park is perfect for a relaxing stroll while enjoying nature, museums, and historic landmarks. The cherry blossoms in spring are breathtaking, and there’s plenty to see all year round, including ponds, temples, and street performances. Great for families, couples, or solo visitors who want a mix of culture and greenery. Don’t forget to visit the Ueno Zoo and nearby museums for a full experience!

Very pretty. The foliage is not in full effect yet in mid November but the park was beautiful nonetheless. There are a lot of people early Saturday morning but the park was huge so there’s a quiet corner for everyone.

Wonderful, peaceful gardens to visit both for tourists and locals! The ponds, statuary, trees, and flowers make you feel you are in a faraway paradise. There is a convenient Information Center near the entrance, and many clean restrooms. Fees are very reasonable including 50% discount for Senior Citizens and disabilities and students. Beautiful backdrops for photo opportunities.

A beautiful and peaceful escape in the middle of Tokyo. Shinjuku Gyoen is incredibly clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The park has lovely Japanese gardens, open lawns, and a stunning greenhouse. Perfect for relaxing walks, picnics, and photography. I went during ___ (spring/autumn/etc.), and the scenery was breathtaking — especially the cherry blossoms! Very easy to access from Shinjuku-Gyoenmae Station. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy nature in the city.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a beautiful botanical Garden in Tokyo Japan. if you’re a plant and flower enthusiast there is a lot to see. There are a lot of lakes to which makes it very calming. there is a lot of place to play and run around for kids, and it’s also a great picnic spot similar to Hyde Park in London. it’s great to see cherry blossoms in the spring season. I went in autumn season in secon first week of November. As you can see in the pictures. There were no red and yellow trees, and I was disappointed. so it might be better to go in end, November when autumn hits in tomyo

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is truly an oasis amid the bustle of Shinjuku. We visited on a lightly drizzling day and spent about an hour exploring the grounds. Although we managed to see most of the main areas in that time, we easily could have spent another hour or two strolling through the beautifully maintained landscapes. The gardens feature a variety of scenic areas, along with several pleasant cafés and refreshment spots, making it a relaxing place to pause and enjoy the surroundings. The facilities and amenities were exceptionally clean and well maintained, consistent with Japan’s high standards. Admission was 500 yen per adult, and the gardens are open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Overall, Shinjuku Gyoen offers a peaceful retreat from the city and is well worth a visit for anyone spending time in Tokyo.

Oh my, i visited Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden a couple of months back. I went with wife and daughter, since she is studying in japan. I found this gem by coincident after having breakfast. As you need to walk to release your heavy tummy. Need to pay at the gate, and it raise our expectation, as some park in tokyo are free. However it was exceed my expectation, you may find big trees, a wide and clean road, green grass, clean lake. This typicall garden that you yave spend in long hours, do not rush, so you earn it. I loved it, love it very much. Btw, you may grab a delicious matcha inside, a few cafe will provide it.

Amazing place to visit and chill, especially in autumn when the weather is sub 20 degrees. Beautifully crafted landscaping and really appreciated the breeze and silence. Always wanted to see the pavilion featured in Garden of Words and it certainly didn't disappoint! Just note they're very strict on the closing time and will go around to chase people out so don't overstay your welcome!

An excellent and beautifully maintained garden right in the heart of Tokyo. The entrance fee is 500 yen, which is very reasonable for the size and serenity of the place. The park features a wonderful mix of traditional Japanese style gardens, with wide walking paths and plenty of benches to relax. It’s a peaceful escape from the busy streets of Shinjuku, perfect for a quiet stroll, enjoying seasonal flowers, or simply taking a break in nature. Definitely worth a visit.

Green, expansive, gorgeous. There are so many words that could describe Yoyogi Park but those are my top three. I loved the greenery, art, wildlife, and the First Flight Monument. Easy to get to, easy to navigate. Even though we walked around for a few hours, there was still more to see. Don’t miss it! Photography by Jason Taylor (Except for the pictures I took)

A newfound favorite park! 🌿 It’s very clean and well-maintained, making it such a pleasant place to explore. I visited in winter (January) and loved that it wasn’t crowded. Just be sure to dress warmly so you can fully enjoy walking around. There are food stalls around, but since Shibuya is within walking distance, you’ll have plenty of dining options nearby. Definitely a must-visit spot in Tokyo!

Beautiful gem found right around the corner from Harajuku station. Conveniently located & within walking distance of Takeishita street shopping area. I went on a Sunday and it was busy but not crowded. The park is filled with gorgeous big lush trees, giving off such a peaceful vibe. I loved seeing the shrine and all the gates. This is a great place to come if you're looking to get a break from the hustle and bustle, to relax or have a little lunch. At the Yoyogi park main stage you'll find alot of events happening. Filled with live performances to tons of food tents. Highly recommends to stop by and take it all in.

Beautiful and very lovely, at least today (26th October), with many food stalls and musicians playing. If you continue and walk more to the centre of the park, it’s much quieter (it was also the end of the day, so it might me more crowded on the morning or early afternoon). Too bad there’s a lot of construction going on (hence the 4 stars), as I was hoping to come here and relax, to escape from the Shibuya madness!…

People say it's like Central Park in NYC. It is indeed a big and enjoyable park. But I don't know why I can't find the huge pond with a fontaine in the center of the park. I think it is under renovation because I saw a huge circular metal wall in the park. Other than that, it is really a nice place to chill, walk, and sit under the trees. It is serene and so green!

This is a place of respite in the city. I feel automn is the great time to walk in this park. The trees are starting to change color. It's pretty nice.

Very nice view! Spacious park! 🏃‍♂️ You can just enjoy here, have a little picnic here The entrance ticket is 500 yen, but it's worth the price

One of the most famous sakura viewing place in Tokyo. Good: easy to get, amazing lighting for night Sakura view 5-8pm; very center, many things to do nearby Bad: too crowded, and the Sakura trees were cut in 2024, making it not that amazing any more. Also, there are many blocks so you can’t see the river well

Though I visited during the non-cherry blossom season, the peace and tranquility of this place has my heart. I can only imagine how this place transforms during the Sakura season. A quiet lane running parallel to the lake is ideal for a leisurely walk. The near by lanes and by-lanes (leading upto Meguro station) too offer beautiful views of the city, lake and blossoms.

One of the better places to view cherry blossom 🌸 in japan. Really feel like the whole place flooded with pinkish really lucky for residents staying near this area is full of life

🌸 Meguro River Cherry Blossoms Festival - A Magical Spring Experience 🌸 Visiting the Meguro River during cherry blossom season is an absolute must! The stunning sakura trees lining the river create a breathtaking pink tunnel, especially when illuminated at night. The reflections on the water add an ethereal charm, making it a dreamlike spot for photos. The festival vibes are fantastic, with food stalls offering delicious snacks and drinks like sakura-themed cocktails and treats. It can get crowded, but the atmosphere is lively and joyful, with everyone soaking in the beauty of spring. Pro tip: Arrive early in the evening for a good spot to enjoy the lights and blossoms. Wear comfortable shoes and take your time strolling along the river—each view is better than the last! Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Tokyo in spring. Truly a magical experience that showcases Japan’s love for nature and beauty. 🌸✨ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The nakameguro side is quite crowded, so better to walk away from there. It gets less crowded as you walk, and its got lots of cherry blossoms. Lots of cafes and small shops along the walkways too.

You can't visit Japan without taking a walking tour and seeing the sights, this includes the Meguro River. We visited in the off season, so no cherry blossoms for us however beautiful nonetheless.

This was taken 2 days ago and it has bloomed beautifully! 🌸 It was mega crowded especially from nakameguro station crossing over to the river side and the entire stretch on both sides along the river was super crowded as you can see from my photos. After crossing to the river from nakameguro station, check out the viewsfrom the small building next to the river. Go to level 2 for a nice and quiet photo taking spot! 🌸🩷 There are washrooms there too. God's creation is so beautiful✨️🙌🏻 A few stalls along the river sold pinkish cocktail looking drinks with strawberries✨️🌸🍓

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.

Beautiful park which has great views of the water and surrounding buildings. Really good picture spot for Tokyo tower and asahi HQ. A must do if you are in the area. Bathrooms at the far end. Can be hot in the sun (even in October!).

Very good for families , just a 5-minute walk from Sensoji Temple. You can sit in the park, watch children run around the playground, and hear their laughter. It makes you feel at ease.

A small and lovely park near the charming Sumida river. If you visit it in spring, you can see more than 700 cherry trees blossoming on both side of the river, which they were planted by Tokugawa Yoshimune.

Beautiful scenery. Nice park and garden. Even though we visited in fall it was still a pretty park to walk through. Great view of Skytree and the river. There is a public restroom in the park.

I was there in early morning during golden week so there were practically a handful of people. It’s a great place to take a break, unwind and get a real nice view of the Sumida river along with Tokyo SkyTree

Lovely park and river walk, the Sakura are starting to bloom as well. You can also take a river bus from the park stop, there is a cafe and play park, and soon they will have night time illuminations too for the cherry blossoms. Great views of Tokyo tower too, if it's not stormy!

I visited Sumida Park early one morning on my way to Tokyo Skytree, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful experiences of my trip. The cherry blossoms line the boardwalk by the river, and in the stillness of the morning, it felt completely tranquil. With the Tokyo Skytree as your backdrop, it’s an incredible setting for a quiet walk, especially during sakura season. There were hardly any people around, and the combination of nature, water, and skyline made it feel surreal. Highly recommend visiting in the morning for a calm, reflective start to your day — it’s a side of Tokyo not everyone gets to see.

A beautiful wide park in Tachikawa, offering a variety of views for a lot of age groups. There's a flower field, a forest where kids can play, a wide open field where you can have a picnic and many more. Not many people know about, especially foreigners, but for me it is a must if you're a lover of nature 🌼

It's a very large park with many different parts to it. It offers many attractions and areas for different groups of visitors. It has a park train that takes you around for a cost. Japanese garden is highly recommended !!! 👌 take a whole day and enjoy the park. There are rental bikes and boats as well. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants that offers many range if food as well. If you want to bring your own picnic that's fine too 🙂

Amazing park! We spent 4 hours there and couldn’t see the entire park because there is so much to experience and see. There is a section called children’s forest which seems out of the way and like there might not be much there to do but it was huge! Lots of play structures and climbing structures. Some unique things that we’ve never seen before at any other park.

People are tossing baseballs to each other here, painting the beautiful flowers, taking photos of their beloved ones, and basking in the sun on the grass. It’s a place where people simply enjoy life.

🌸 A beautiful and massive park in Tachikawa — perfect for a full day out! 🌳🚴‍♂️ From cycling paths to seasonal flowers, and even a lovely boating pond where you can relax on the water 🚣‍♀️💦. Great for picnics, walks, or family fun. A must-visit in every season! 🌷🍁✨

Just awesome park and biggest, you can spend 3 to 4 hours walking inside park and there are toilets and restaurant inside. Multiple exits are clearly marked. Ensure you carry enough water and food. There is also barbeque area which is paid. Boating you can do, see beautiful flowers in season. Herb garden and many more. Walkable from tachikawa station. Recommended for sure. Enjoy Japan.

The park is enormous, so be prepared either to do a lot of walking, or to rent a bike. You can also ride the adorable steam engine trains that traverse the park regularly. The purpose of my visit on a mid spring morning was to see the Japanese Garden, and it does not disappoint. It is among the most special Japanese gardens in all of Tokyo, and it is truly sublime.

It's a good place. You can get experience from exploring the nature and history in same time, with cheap tickets too! The area is pretty big, and can give you fresh air even in the middle of summer (ngl summer in tokyo is so freaking hot) but it's feel nice here.

One of the most beautiful and serene Japanese gardens in Tokyo. It's beautiful at any time of the year. The tea house inside the garden serves match tea and traditional sweets with seasonal flavours.

Beautiful garden! It’s full of history for visitors to explore. With leaves changing colour there are lots of spots to take pictures. Many trails around the pond and around the perimeter. Can readily spend 2+ hours here.

This garden is the model from Wakaura, a scenic place in Wakayama. They put 88 scenic parts from Wakayama in this garden, and make it as the most worth to visit garden in Tokyo. The entrance fee is ¥300 You might want to visit this garden in different seasons, and I suggest the most beautiful time is around spring and autumn. They have a very scenic autumn leaves and an old big shidare sakura, also beautiful zen garden and pond inside. A good walking trail, there are short rout for 30-40 mins walk or long route 60-70 mins walk.

Nice and quiet small park in the middle of Tokyo. For those who are looking for a brief getaway from city vibe, this place is the go-to. The park was very beautiful, and well maintained. There was a small lake in the middle with a few bridges and brooks in the park that creates a great contrast with plants. We came in Autumn so the foliage is really mesmerising.

This is a lovely park of very manageable size. Spring and late autumn are equally great times to visit, but other times of the year are fine, too. Very recommended.

The autumn colours have just changed and from next week it’s going to be complete. Night entry tickets will be revised now it’s only 300¥

The entrance fee is 300 yen, which is reasonable for a visit. The garden is well-maintained and features several historical markers scattered throughout, offering insights into its past. There are restrooms, shaded areas, and benches that make it a comfortable place to stroll or rest. While the garden is pleasant and peaceful, it didn’t quite stand out to me compared to others I’ve visited in Japan. Perhaps it was the lack of visible wildlife—aside from a few birds, some lizards, and a couple of pale fish, I didn’t see much. No turtles, which I’ve come to enjoy spotting in many Japanese gardens. Still, if you're nearby, it's definitely worth a stop. It's a calm and clean space with historical charm, even if it wasn't my personal favorite

Garden is quite small but very well designed. You can have some tea and snacks in old style tea house, enjoy tranquil lake view or take a walk around area. Place is famous for plum blossoms, but I think there is enough to see every season.

Among my favorite gardens in Tokyo -- classic Edo-era stroll garden, beautifully maintained and serene as can be. The restaurant at the West Gate offers on-site meals with a view overlooking the garden, take-away bentos at lunch, and changes to a teahouse later in the day. Entry into the garden is a little difficult to find if coming from the north (just keep folloing along the white wall) -- there's a west and east point of entry at the southern end of the garden.

Beautiful and peaceful full park. We were pretty much alone there with a few people passing by. We saw cute duckies swimming around in the pond. We even found a stamp station. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, definitely stop there. 🙏

This place inspired retirement goals. Saw a bunch of elderly under a shaded tree to take pictures of a bird by the pond. An ancient spot that was build perfectly for one to enjoy till this date. Definitely worth a visit. It might be a lot more beautiful during spring with all the blossoms.

Saved the best for last. This was our favourite garden we saw during our trip to Japan. Although it is a little bit east of Shinjuku it is worth the time to see.

Amazing park. Beautiful for a nice little rest in between all the walking you have to do as a tourist. Also great to have a lunch break. Cheap entry as well. Highly recommend

This park is the one of the oldest parks in Japan,here are three museums that are located. and children will be very happy when they come to here .

It's probably lovely here during hanami. I visited (both by choice and chance, when I randomly got on the Toden-Arakawa tram line) during the end of spring. Flowers have pretty much fallen from the trees but I loved having a walk around. It was a pleasant place to have a breather and there were a lot of people out for some morning exercise. The free mini monorail was nice.

A lovely park with lots of green area and a huge playground. The hydrangea were beautiful. I’d love to come back for a picnic or a long dog walk.

This park was built in edo period and provided to the general public. It has been famous for hanami of Sakura blossoms. I came at early morning and already some people taking pictures. I came by taking the famous Sakura tram. You could also take pictures of tram with Sakura.

The playground is quite big with a lot of fun, my baby boy loves climbing up and down. The park is full of trees too which is very great for the summer.

The park is not very big but nice. It contains three museums (of which the Paper Museum is the most interesting one),=an open-air stage (I attained an amateur show of very enthusiastic aged people and schoolgirls (from a junior school), very lively!); here is a kids' playground with a climbing hill/slide, and exhibits of an old streetcar s a steam locomotive which kids can climb. Of course there are toilets. Also, the park boasts fountains – and very likely THE shortest funicular monorail in the world (free)! Not a must-see bur definitely worth visiting if you're around.

Great experience ! Jogging in the drizzle, while seeing the old steam engine , besides having a glimpse to see the introduction of one of the greatest educators shibusawa eiichi A simply jogging activity ultimately turned out to be a park visiting!

This place is really beautiful in the spring because there’s a wide area to visit and see sakura in here. Such a stunning place I have been. This park has a large parking area for a fair price.

It’s a very big park where people can have a picnic, take a walk/jog, walk their pets, and parents teaching their children how to bike. I especially like the wisteria. ☺️

I visited this park by renting a bicycle by Hello Cycle. It is a huge park. There were many families pitching a tent for a picnic at the lawn. There was a museum about traditional buildings, but I didn't have time to drop by.

There are plenty of nice spots to have a picnic here especially during the spring. There are several types of cherry trees in the park, including those that bloom later in the season. I love biking over and lying on the thick green grass once spring comes. A few short bikes trails as well.

huge park with Edo building museum inside. beautiful in cherry blossom season.

Koganei Park is the perfect place for anyone who fancies flowers, wide open spaces, a leisurely stroll, or even a bit of history. Its proximity to downtown Tokyo makes it a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. I visited this park today for hanami with some good friends. It's about a 30 to 35-minute bike ride away from where I live (Higashikurume), but it is also easily accessible via train or bus. Koganei Park features spacious grassy areas, which serve as a perfect spot for picnic and games. A children's playground complete with various amenities (swings, slides, small zip-lines, sledding hill, etc.) are also available, which are sure to entice kids and kids-at-heart alike. And of course, the famous sakura trees in full bloom elevate the place into a captivating view. There are sakura trees in most parts of the park, but they are mostly concentrated on the left and right sides facing the museum. Benches, public washrooms, and a snack house with vending machines are also available, so you surely have everything you will ever need for fun and comfort if ever you get to visit. The park is a must-see in any season of the year, but it shouldn't be missed when the sakura are in full bloom at the peak of spring!⁸

Really nice and wide park! There are places for kids to play, places for dogs to run and places for barbecue! We went for Hanami and were not disappointed. ☺️

Passed there by mistake on my way to Roppongi, and I thought it was a beautiful quiet area in the middle of the city. Quite interesting. Beautiful boulevard in the center lined with trees in north sides.

A delightful surprise when we arrived in Tokyo and went for a stroll. We weren't sure if the cherry blossom was blooming or that this moment had already passed because of the reports we saw online. But when we turned the corner we were in for a lovely surprise! Two long rows of blossom in almost full bloom! And other trees scattered around the cemetery as well. A quiet and peaceful cemetery and pretty much no other tourists around. A great start to our Japan itinerary during Sakura! 🌸

A quiet, clean and well-kept place, with lots of wonderful plants and special funerary monuments, including Hatchiko's monument, next to that of his master. Suitable place for walking, meditation, especially in cherry blossom season.

A quiet and peaceful place to enjoy cherry blossoms, away from the crowds. Has many notable graves, including Hachiko, and a foreign cemetery.

What seems like a strange location for visitors is a gem of a location in the backyard of Omotesando. And this is especially true during the bountiful bloom of Hanami or the ambrosial beauty of Fall. I only ever come here early hours of the am and it is always peaceful. The central spine of the cemetery is lined with a military like parade of Sakura trees and they are a worthy front row to the beauty of the national Japanese flower. Stay a while, enjoy the breeze and the Sakura snow or potter around to pay respects to its famous inhabitants, or even have a picnic and beer Japanese style on a tarpaulin in a cozy corner under the trees. You won’t regret the journey 2025 update- the bloom has just began and should be gorgeous by the start of April

A large cemetery in the middle of Tokyo and it has several sections. Very peaceful for a morning jog or walk. Especially beautiful during cherry blossom season. If you are into the story of Hachiko the dog, the dog is buried here together with his owner.

Beautiful cemetery! The walk there was really peaceful during the morning. But PLEASE make sure to spray yourself with bug spray before visiting!! Got bitten like 8 times by mosquitos since I forgot to do so beforehand.

Chidorigafuchi is hands down our ultimate favorite sakura spot! 🌸💖 Nowhere else in Tokyo is more beautiful than Chidorigafuchi! Another lucky coincidence that we came here on the last day of the sakura festival, as there weren't that many people. We planned to come here a week before, but it was raining for days. Good thing we waited for that beautiful, sunny day. Definitely coming back here in the future. Tips: - The best route is from the exit of Kudanshita Station. - There are approximately 1,000 sakura trees. According to their billboard, you can donate to the park if you want to help protect these poor trees from the effects of climate change. - According to the signs, you can't use tripod. - The line for the boat is already long when we passed by at 8am. They start operations at 9am. - Night lights turn on from sunset to 10pm.

Sakura Walkway by the River🌸🛶🦆 • A peaceful spot for a seasonal walk during cherry blossom time! • Be sure to check the weather—sunny days enhance the atmosphere significantly. • While the overall view is pleasant, there are only a few standout spots for photos. Most sections of the path look quite similar, so don’t expect a wide variety of scenic points. Still worth a visit if you’re nearby and enjoy sakura strolls.

We visited during cherry blossom season, and it was absolutely beautiful. I’m not sure what it’s like the rest of the year, but our experience at that time was amazing. You can’t reserve boat tickets in advance (at least not that I saw), so it’s first come, first served. We waited in line to get a scheduled time and were lucky to get a slot just 45 minutes out—which was great! We had expected to wait much longer, possibly even needing to return in the evening. My tip: arrive early and have a few other things planned nearby so you can adjust based on what time slot you get. Even if you don’t end up boating, the area itself is gorgeous and definitely worth a visit.

Though the cherry blossom peak has passed, a few beautiful blooms remain. Many people are already out running by 6 am.

Personally I preferred this area over Ueno for cherry blossom viewing. There is a long stretch of trees along the path you can walk under. Unlike Ueno where the street is wide, over here you are walking on the sidewalk covered by cherry blossom trees overhead.

This one is another beautiful park to visit in Tokyo to view Cherry blossom. Visited it on 7th April afternoon. The view of Cherry blossom along the Hanzo moat was simply magical. From the park, the path leading to the Imperial Palace east garden is a nice walk and in the evenings the cherry blossom glowing in the light is another unforgettable experience. Even without cherry blossom the walk along the moat in the evening is quite nice.

Walked through the park just before peak blossoms had arrived (April 1). It's a small park, but we included it on our walk around the entire Imperial Palace park. Enjoyed the views of the moat.

Just a short trip from Tokyo, Mount Takao offers a peaceful escape from the city’s noise. Surrounded by calm nature and fresh mountain air, it’s the perfect place to find silence, refresh your tired soul, and reconnect with yourself.

The perfect plan for those who like nature and enjoy walking….it’s only 1 hour outside Tokyo and a lot of things to see and eat there. We decided to take the trail 1 (the easiest) to go up and took the lift in our way down! But the cable car is also available.

Beautiful payoff for what amounts to be a 45 minute walk. Paved paths with excellent three color leaves during fall (November 2025). Some crowds but manageable. The secret to getting the coveted photo is to ensure that Mount Fuji shows clear or lightly clouded skies before hiking up here. I have some examples of potential photos below.

Solo trip on weekdays. Not so crowded. Use Trail 1 for the easiest route. 980 yen round trip for cable car but do go for the chair lift instead. Date 26/11. Fall leaves almost gone but its still beautiful to see.

Very Beautiful in Fall season! 1 hour from shinjuku After hiking and chairlifts experience, you can go to relax at the onsen right at the train station. Very affordable Wonderful day-trip experience here!

11/21/25 What a relaxing day enjoying autumn’s beauty at Mt. Takao. Was a weekday but still crowded You can take the cable car or chair lift from Kiyotaki Station to save your feet or just go for a hike and enjoy nature.

Absolutely take an autumnal break here from Tokyo. Simple to get to by train, less than 90 mins. Either hike or pop up Mt Takao on a funicular or chairlift. Then walk around the environment seeing all the shrines and temple. Reserve lunch with the monks and get your goishon before 4pm. Come down and spend time in the onsen at the train station. Fabulous and so doable in the day.

Visited on 6th April, 2024 Saturday It’s a huge park with half of it full of cherry trees. We stopped and had picnic close to the entrance, there’s a lot of people so should have walked in a bit more and there were tons of space. It’s full of residents, no tourists 👍 perfect. Negative side is that they don’t have kombini or supermarket nearby. The closest needs some walk so better to prepare food in advance.

I have been here last year for the sakura sight seeing! Very beautiful place, a lot of trees and shade. Today we come again in the summer time, the air breezing is very nice here! My kid likes it a lot!

Amazing park. They have a 1mi running track as well which is beautiful and covered from the sun. It’s an amazing place to see the cherry blossoms as there are very few tourists. In the morning you can see the locals so the “radio taikai” exercise together as well as Tai chi. The range of flowers is amazing and you can enjoy bird watching. There’s a lot to do and there is a store in the middle.

One of the best park for Hanami!! There are also food trucks and hot food inside the park. If you would like to get food from outside, there are Fast food shop and supermarket near by. Good location. you can ride your bike there too, there are plenty of bike parking.

A nice park with different activities. Nice to take a walk or go for a cycle. If you've never been on a suspension bridge before it's worth the experience. There is also an art museum located inside the park. Anyone interested in Japan's foliage can see Cherry Blossom trees in the spring and Ginko trees in the fall.

This large park is has large cherry blossom trees but is also beautiful other times of year. There’s space for my kids to ride scooters, running paths, and picnic blankets. There is a brand new large playground that will open after the national emergency ends.

A nice place to walk around. Came around noon on weekday, there are some people having hanami, but it is not crowded. Some of the Sakura trees are in full bloom. Not all. Pretty and calming.

It is a historical garden in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The gardens were first used by the Tokugawa shogunate. The garden was built on the grounds of Edo Castle. The building of the modern gardens began in 1961. The garden is over 210,000 square metres. The garden was completed in 1968. Gardens are well maintained and lovely blooms and manicured trees. Popular place, lots of tourists and locals. Picturesque place. Must see place. Uneven terrain, lots of walking. Wear comfy shoes, take water, wear hat, sunscreen. Great place for photography

So well manicured. I’m guessing the gardeners here are an elite team working for the palace. Both my hubby and I loved the trees, the lawn, the fruit trees to name a few. Never fail to amaze us. We spent a total of 3 hours there and forgot the sun existed. We were hot, sweaty and exhausted when we finished. But…we were very happy.

Very beautiful! It was closed certain areas but we walked around the palace and still can enjoy it. There was a lot of security which I noticed with the imperial palace throughout Japan to enter they do inspection on bags, very nice. There is also a very pretty stamp inside a souvenir shop :)

I visited on my last day before heading back to the airport. Definitely a great place to visit and wrap up a vacation trip. Calm, beautiful yet full of energy. A must see in Tokyo that is down the street from Tokyo station.

An amazing variety of plant life, if that's what you are interested in! There are signs explaining what each plant is. I spent a few hours looking and learning about each one.

Maybe we were here during the wrong season, because i was not very impressed with the park. It was nice, and peaceful, but also felt bare and empty. We were lucky because we got to hear, and sort of see (by peeking through the bushes) that there was a police training in one of the buildings of the park. What I like about this park is that it reminds me in certain aspects of Central Park in New York. I say this because the park is in the middle of the city.

Expect lots of walking especially since we just went to the free entrance after security. Very serene, but lots of tourists. The shops were cute and there are enough bathrooms everywhere. Overall, if you’re looking for a place to just look at nature amidst this concrete jungle - this is it.

Beautiful little boat ride. Would have loved to see it in cherry blossom season! We went during the day, so while we missed out on the nighttime lanterns, we were able to skip any crowds.

Chidorigafuchi Moat surrounds the northern and western sides of the Imperial Palace grounds, forming part of the outer defense system of the former Edo Castle. The moat stretches from the Kitanomaru Park area to the Hanzomon Gate area, offering picturesque views along its banks. One of the most famous features of Chidorigafuchi Moat is its cherry blossom trees, which line the banks of the waterway. During cherry blossom season, usually in late March to early April, the trees burst into bloom, creating a stunning display of pink and white blossoms. Visitors can rent rowboats to paddle along the tranquil waters, offering a unique perspective of the cherry blossoms and surrounding scenery. Boat rentals are available on a first-come, first-served basis at the rental facilities located near the moat. During peak times such as cherry blossom season or weekends, there may be high demand for boat rentals, which could result in long queues or wait times. In such cases, it's advisable to arrive early in the day to secure a spot or be prepared to wait in line.

Chidorigafuchi Moat is one of the most famous spots for seeing Sakura Blossom in Tokyo. The Sakura trees are planted along the two sides of the Hirakawa Moat. Visitors can either walk along the side of the moat or rent a boat to enjoy the view from the water. At night, they have set up beautiful light effects that show another type of beauty of those Sakura. However, it can be extremely crowded during Sakura Blossom season like late March.

If you are coming here for Nightviewing of Sakura, bring a lot patience ☺️ as it gets crowded but still orderly because police assistance. Its really nice to see the sakura 🌸 when its illuminated. Just take a nice photo and leave as soon as you can. There are lot of nice sakura nights spots in Tokyo with lesser crowd 😉

Sakura trees were blooming late this year and they stopped illuminating the section at night April 2nd as per to the website .We went specifically the 5th and it was all dark

As you check my photos, it is empty here right but it will not be the same case during Sakura and other events. Here they will do the light up during boating, it will be a kind of romantic eve with your partner. Note that pre-booking is must as far as I know, so check once before you going. It will be usually crowded during a event, so if you wanna book, do it before when it is available.

Visited at tail end of flowering on 1st week of April. Nevertheless, still lovely to sit along trail that runs along the upper bank that’s in the Kitanomaru Park side, overlooking the moat.

One of my favourite gardens in Tokyo, we visited it during a non-busy period of the year. It was delightful. Enjoy your matcha at the tea house facing the pond.

What a splendid place to spend the afternoon! Strolling the grounds, exploring every nook and cranny. I spent a few hours here one spring afternoon after eating a great omakase lunch. This was the perfect place to burn off some extra calories, wandering the paths. It was an equally enjoyable place to enjoy a nice little siesta underneath one of the many trees that provide shade in this beautiful park. If you’re into green spaces, I highly recommend a visit! Can’t wait to come back 🤗

Beautiful traditional gardens that used to be the falcon hunting grounds of the Shogun. Compared to Shinjuku Gardens, Hamariku has more beautiful water features, including bridges and a tea shop over water. There's something to see in every season - plum blossoms in February, cherry blossoms in March, wisteria in April, as well as a season flower garden planted with rotating varieties year round. The garden also hosts seasonal and cultural celebrations. The garden tends to be quiet most days (certainly compared to Shinjuku Gardens). The open picnic areas are recommended for families with kids looking for a place to run around in the grass.

Beautiful gardens, one of my favourite places in Tokyo for sure! Very well kept and just gorgeous. It was a lovely day today and the gardens were very peaceful. Highly recommended. I payed 300 yen but the combo ticket saves you 50 yen if you wish to visit the Kyu Shiba Rikyu gardens as well (also worth a visit). Just lovely!

A pleasant, peaceful garden near the center of Tokyo. The entrance fee is cheap and there are toilets, enough space to sit outside and drinking water on site. A great place for relax combined with admiring nature and historic garden.

Hamarikyū Gardens is one of Tokyo’s most historically layered landscapes, a former 17th-century coastal residence of the Tokugawa shōguns where an Edo-period garden, a rare saltwater tidal pond and the modern skyline of Shiodome coexist in a single, coherent space. Created as a seaside villa and hunting ground, the estate was designed around the shioiri-no-ike, the only remaining tidal pond in Tokyo that still rises and falls with the rhythms of Tokyo Bay. The surrounding fields once hosted falconry demonstrations for the shōgun’s court, while the garden itself was shaped by black pines that remain among the oldest in the city, including the 300-year-old Sanbyakunen-no-Matsu. During the Meiji era the property became part of the Imperial estate; heavily damaged in 1945, it was reopened to the public the following year. Today Hamarikyū still reflects classical aesthetics such as borrowed scenery, intentionally framing the glass towers of Shiodome as part of the garden’s composition. Visiting the garden feels like stepping briefly outside the pace of the city. Walking across the tidal pond’s long wooden bridge toward Nakajima-no-Ochaya, the teahouse on the water, you notice how the garden filters sound and light: the soft creak of wood, the wind in the pines, the reflections shifting on the surface. From the small hill Ochin’yama, the garden opens in layers — the Edo-period composition of water and pines, the quiet interior of the park itself, and behind it the vertical lines of Shiodome. The contrast is deliberate and gives the garden a clarity that is rare in central Tokyo. I arrived at Hamarikyū by river boat from Asakusa, which is an excellent option: the ticket is 1,180 yen and includes the garden entrance fee (300 yen), so the actual cost of the cruise is only 880 yen.

Loved this park. It has an admission fee that you can pay at a counter or a machine at the various entrances. It is amazing how serene it is there although you are in the middle of Tokyo. Was nice for a relaxing stroll and can definetly recommend going there

A beautiful and vast shrine with a presence. The large tori gate greeting you as you enter the shrine makes this temple unique among the temple in Tokyo. When you enter the temple, you are greeted with a large public area with many sections to explore. Going near the end of the day is unique as you get to see the sun setting over the tori gate and the temple.

It's beautiful. The shrine is dedicated to the respect of all those who died fighting for Japan from the Meiji Era onward. There is the shrine proper, the Yushukan a museum to preserve the memory of the kami, an archive, a beautiful garden and several monuments. The shrine is very important and there is a lot of people there during the day. The best time to be there is very early in the morning.

Very big temple with - parking, vending machines, museum, food stalls and largely many festivals and ceremonies held very frequently. One of the best places to visit and experience the difference - pleasant and lively location with lot of Ginko trees and tree shades to beat the heat while in summer, beat the cold with fantastic views in winter, thrilling views during autumn with the color changes … a place one should never miss.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. They were doing construction before an event so there was scaffolding, but even that was pretty. Inside the museum is a nice gift shop and a pretty public toilet. Quick note, if you want to take a photo of the shrine, take it from the side near the gravel (or the guard will politely remind you).

Very beautiful shrine. The yearly Mitama Matsuri is a must see in Tokyo. Japanese people honor the spirits of the dead on these days. The shrine is decorated with 30,000 lanterns during this time.

This place is a sacred place for Japan. The spirits of the dead of Japanese solders from ww2 are deified here since the end of the war. They devoted themselves to their sweet homeland. Respect here and never be impolite. You all can come here! This is open for everyone and good park with greens! There are huge gate and Shrine. You would feel very sacred atmosphere! You can buy fortune stuffs here. And there are museum for Japanese ancestors who devoted themselves to Japan!!!

True to its reputation, this shrine has some interesting galleries and exhibitions on the more sensitive topics. But otherwise, it’s a pretty huge shrine/park with seats every couple of steps for you to rest and enjoy the atmosphere.

Fascinating & interesting place to visit. An easy walk and plenty of shade trees, but very few places to sit. Watch out for the crows, they are prone to swoop, just like magpies! Recommend a visit, even if your transiting from one location to the next.

Lovely autumn walk through the cemetery. Peaceful and learnt some history too. Enjoyed all the backstreets around the area as well. Very close to train station. Very well kept graves.

Really Good - it is always a bit weird visiting a cemetery when overseas; but we do find them interesting and a good insight into the culture of where we might be at the time. And this place was very good - you find it on the way to the Asakura Museum. It is a rather large cemetery, which is well cared for and in a beautiful setting. It was terrific to simply wander around the small paths that crisscross this area.

The graves of Orthodox Christiaity Saint Nicholas (Kasatkin), Equal-to-the-Apostles, Archbishop of Japan, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last shōgun as well as other notable people are in this graveyard.

One of the best streets in Tokyo to visit during Sakura Season (Cherry Blossoms) without any tourist! The cementery itself looks awesome also, beautiful scenery and has clean public restrooms. One of my best highlight in Tokyo regarding the Cherry Blossoms and the low quantity of people walking by.

Discovered this place by accident as walked through it on my way to the Asakura Museum. Large cemetery well cared for and in a beautiful setting. Just nice wandering around the small paths that crisscross this area.

While a cemetery isn’t the first thing most people would think of as a place to visit, this is a great place to stop if you were already planning on going to Taito for something else like the ginza shopping street. The cemetery is very pretty, quiet, and the random cats are actually pretty friendly (with how well fed they looked, they probably weren’t feral cats). If you are already in the area and looking for something unique to do for an hour or so, it’s definitely worth checking out.

I went there on 23rd October 2025. It was very peaceful and relaxing environment in the garden listening to birds chirping. There were not much flowers obviously at this time of the year but there were many amazing plants, trees, pond and shrine. Definitely recommend to visit it. You will be impressed by the atmosphere.

Koishikawa Botanical Gardens is a true hidden oasis in Tokyo. Its most notable feature is its immense size and surprising tranquility. Unlike crowded spots such as Shinjuku Gyoen, the grounds remain refreshingly peaceful, even on busy holiday weekends. ​It is an ideal location for quiet contemplation and reading; just bring a picnic sheet and a good book for a perfectly serene afternoon. ​The garden’s rich botanical diversity, including a fantastic greenhouse, ensures it is a rewarding place to visit throughout all four seasons. You will never get bored exploring the paths. ​Frankly, this garden is so special that I consider it my personal, secret power-charging spot. It's the perfect sanctuary to escape the city noise and reconnect with nature. Don't miss this beautiful, quiet gem.

A very lovely place. I came here during a very cloudy day in mid October, so the maples had not turned red yet. But the absence of crowds made the place very peaceful. I would recommend a visit at any time of the year.

Visited on April 6, 2025 Beautiful in all seasons. Less crowded during Sakura season. Perfect for picnics. there are fewer number of sakura trees than other famous spots but the trees are well maintained and can enjoy flowers up close. The Japanese garden area is absolutely stunning. * Entry fee: 500 yen (per person) * no trash cans, bring back all your trash.

One of my favorite gardens! It feels less manicured than others, and beyond the greenhouses, it feels more like a wilderness than a garden.

Spectacular in every way, the oldest garden in Japan, a place so rich in history that it deserves more than just a brief stop. It’s a large space. Come early on a nice day to get the best benefit from the experience. Easily among the best Japanese gardens in Tokyo.

Came here on a rainy Friday afternoon in late May and was greeted by the polite staff and the fluffy-sleepy cat on their desk (that I failed to take a picture of). The paths were muddy because of the rain, but the utter lack of crowds made up for that completely. Highly recommended for nature lovers.

Visited March 2024. It's a higher end shopping complex/business park. I came to visit the surrounding park to see their cherry blossom illuminations, but I was too early. Would consider coming back for the illumination and Starbucks reserve roastery, but was not really interested in the shopping complex itself.

Key Highlights: - Luxury Shopping: Tokyo Midtown is a high-end shopping center featuring numerous upscale stores, cafes, and restaurants. Its foreigner-friendly atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for international visitors. - Beautiful Gardens: The nearby green space offers a serene escape from the bustling city, perfect for relaxation. The garden area also hosts stunning light displays during the Christmas season, synchronized with music. - Modern Architecture: The complex's sleek design and beautiful modern architecture are definitely worth admiring. The roof terrace, in particular, offers breathtaking views and is a must-visit spot. - Dining and Entertainment: With a range of dining options, including salad bars and burger joints, Tokyo Midtown caters to diverse tastes. Visitors can also enjoy special events and exhibitions. *Tips for Visitors:* - *Explore the Roof Terrace*: Don't miss the rooftop area, which offers great views and is free to access. .

The mall has beautiful architecture and design, with a nice park right next to it. There were also quite a few Doraemons around for photo opportunities.

These illuminations are so so beautiful✨ The staffs told us not to stop, but most people tried to take pictures. I thought that illumination without being gazed is nonsense, so what the staffs required is weird. If you use a wide angle, you can take nice photos. However, there are too many people, so other people would appear in the photo, which is not good.

The garden area at the front hosts a stunning light display synchronized with music during the Christmas season. It’s a mesmerizing sight, perfect for soaking in the festive atmosphere and capturing magical moments.

A very nice elegant shopping mall to spend time in. The Christmas decorations is especially nice.

It is a mid-to-high-end shopping mall. You may go through overpass to Hinokicho park for a rest and photo. There are some restaurants with terrace where you can enjoy the atmosphere of scene and food. You better make reservation in advance if you want lunch or dining there. Many media have reported this is a cherry blossom attraction.

It’s probably the last week to enjoy the full bloom Sakura so even it’s a weekday a lot of people showed up. Since it’s world famous both tourists and locals were like half proportioned. I didn’t plan to visit since over tourism are really getting it’s peak. But since I was in the area just wanted to refresh my memory. Since its crowdness sometimes it made walking a bit harder. And because it closed off some areas making a picture of good angle impossible.

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape right in the heart of Tokyo, Chidorigafuchi Green Way is a must-visit. As a Local Guide, I’ve explored many scenic paths, but this one stands out for its seasonal charm and well-maintained trails. Stretching along the Imperial Palace moat, this walkway is especially breathtaking during cherry blossom season (late March to early April). The sakura trees form a stunning pink canopy over the path, and the reflection on the calm water creates a dreamlike scene — perfect for both photography and quiet contemplation. Even outside of hanami season, the greenery, clean benches, and subtle lighting make it a relaxing walk. The route is flat and accessible, suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. There are clear signs in English and Japanese, and the nearby Kudanshita and Hanzomon stations make it easy to reach. Early morning or late afternoon is best to avoid crowds. What I appreciate most is how it blends urban life with nature — you’re surrounded by history, yet feel completely at peace. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, Chidorigafuchi Green Way offers a short but meaningful nature escape in the middle of Tokyo.

Celebrated for its amazing cherry blossoms and energetic ambiance, the Chiyoda City Sakura Festival is a much awaited yearly event in Tokyo. Driven around the 700-meter Chidori-ga-fuchi Green Way, a route lined with rich sakura trees, the celebration provides guests with a lovely backdrop to savor the ephemeral beauty of the blossoms. The evening cherry blossom illumination of the celebration is one of its best aspects. Energy-efficient solar-powered LED lights softly illumine the blossoms as evening falls, producing a wonderful environment that enthralls those who pass beneath the lit canopy. This environmentally friendly method not only improves the visual experience but also captures Chiyoda City's dedication to sustainability. Renting rowboats at the Chidori-ga-fuchi Boating Station offers guests an unusual viewpoint. Particularly during the late evening hours when the lighted flowers reflect off the water's surface, gliding over the moat under the overhanging cherry branches provides a private and peaceful experience. High demand means that arriving early for same-day tickets is essential; alternatively, you might choose to reserve through the official website ahead of time. Apart from Chidori-ga-fuchi, the celebration covers other famous landmarks in Chiyoda Ward. For example, the cherry trees of Yasukuni Shrine are well-known; the benchmark tree used to announce Tokyo's s Sakura bloom Under the flowers, guests may enjoy gourmet food trucks providing a range of delicacies to relish on the grounds of the temple, which are available for bloom viewing. If you want to really appreciate the event, think about going on weekday mornings when traffic is less and a more peaceful experience is possible. The Chiyoda City Sakura Festival provides a classic hanami experience that wonderfully captures the essence of spring in Tokyo, whether your interests are in seeing neighboring cherry blossom sites, riding a boat on the moat, or seeing the lit flowers along the Green Way

If you’re looking for a beautiful walk during cherry blossom season, this is the place. Of course, expect a ton of people during peak, but still worth it in my opinion.

Taken on 26 Mar 2025, 17:53 HR Not much can be seen blooming yet in terms of sakura. Only a few trees. But seeing them already flowering and budding, it probably will take another 3-5 days for the flowers to bloom. Seeing the number of trees lined up here shows that this spot will be extremely beautiful soon!

3 April 2025, 6pm Beautiful blooms of Cherry blossoms with night illuminations. Rather crowded but still walkable on a weekday. Seems like on weekends, the path is one way only from Kudenshita (the Toei Line) towards the blossoms trails.

9 Apr morning - sunny morning with beautiful Sakura though a lot of the flowers have already past blooming and flying off with the wind.

(Translated by Google) Chidorigafuchi was built as part of the inner moat at the time of the construction of the former Edo Castle. The current Chidorigafuchi and Hanzo Moats were originally one moat, but were separated in 1901 due to road construction on Daikancho Street, resulting in the current structure. The name Chidorigafuchi is said to have come from the V-shaped moat's resemblance to a plover. As part of the former Edo Castle, it was designated a Special Historic Site, "Edo Castle Ruins," under the Cultural Properties Protection Act in 1963. Regarded as one of Tokyo's leading cherry blossom viewing spots, it is the most beloved of the inner moats surrounding the Imperial Palace. The cherry blossom-lined Chidorigafuchi Greenway, lined with Somei-Yoshino cherry trees planted in the 1950s, continues to this day, attracting many visitors every year during the flowering season from late March to early April.

A stunning park with many unique features to admire. Close to other worthwhile stops in Chiyoda. There’s also the bonus of a Liberty Bell inside the park. Photography by Jason Taylor

Beautiful park with both a nice stroll and a bigger main grass field. There are at times stalls here that sells greenery and other stuffs. Seemed like a lot of families with children came here to play around! The walk around the park is also nice and quiet.

Gorgeous priceless jewel of a park. In the autumn when the leaves turn, you can just sit on one of the numerous benches take it all in. I love that it’s not crowded and that it is right next to the Hibiya library (English books are on the 2nd floor). There is a Tully coffee shop and a couple of restaurants inside the park. One of my favorite spots in Tokyo. It’s off the beaten track enough.

The park is beautiful and the day we went there were vendors selling charming handmade items, foods, books and projects. I would definitely return. Some areas had a pronounced sewage smell, but we could not identify the source.

Hibiya park has its own history. Quite a good place to rest and enjoy, has many benches to sit, and offers many historical artifacts about this place, there is a piece of wall from Meiji era, you would love to walk around and enjoy the nature and history. On its own its sort of small open air museum.

Hibiya Park is a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city. With plenty of green space and comfortable seating, it’s an excellent spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. Perfect for a peaceful break amid the urban hustle!

Came for the special piano, it's a nice park to sit and listen to some music. Space is wide and well taken care of, lots of seating on benches as well. If I was close by and looking for a place to relax a little bit this is the place

Large open space, public restrooms and small child play equipment. Nice walking/jogging path. Was relaxing in the morning.

I love this park that is close to Zojo-ji. You can also see the Tokyo tower in the background. The whole area is very popular with locals. There is a peace lamp in the park.

An awesome stretch of green space in the heart of Tokyo city, overlooking the magnificent Tokyo Tower. Believe me, you'll get some of the best views of 🗼 from this park. I went here during sunset so the views were extra special.

This place very comfortable for picnic with family, partner and friend. U can see great view the tokyo tower from shiba park. Very clean 🤗

Nice community park to stroll through or to sit on a shaded park bench to relax. One section of the park was blocked from entry due to "falling trees and rocks."

Unexpected pleasure to find a quiet, almost empty park in Tokyo. A great place to decompress and enjoy a moment of serenity within Tokyo.

Shiba Park feels like a quiet breath in the middle of Tokyo. Soft grass under your feet Tokyo Tower watching over you and little paths that lead to nowhere in particular. It is calm green and just the kind of spot where time slows down a little. I think in the summer it's beautiful.

Kasai Rinkai Park is a very beautiful and spacious park with plenty to do for all ages. It is well connected with its own station, making it easy to access, and also has a huge parking area for those driving. The park features designated barbecue spaces, fishing spots, and long running paths that make it ideal for outdoor activities. There is also an observatory and a large Ferris wheel that give great views of the area. With so much to explore, you can easily spend three to four hours here just walking around and enjoying the natural surroundings.

This is an aquarium run by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Of course, you can just enjoy the incredible fish, but what really stands out are things like the feeding times, instructors immediately answering kids' questions, and even an exhibit showing actual trash found in Tokyo Bay. It's a fantastic place for building awareness about environmental issues and fostering respect for nature.

It’s a beautiful park by the Tokyo bay. There are many different functions for different people. I mainly came to watch their designated areas for birds watching. The directions to the area from the entrance were very clear. There were about 5 to 6 areas but there were not many birds in fact. The last place gathered more professional photographers using their telescope lens but variety of birds were limited.

Very nice park you can enjoy with your family, you can ride the steel wheel to see Tokyo, also there's birds sanctuary, it's a nice park but my advise is to make this visit to the last as it's not expressing Tokyo

Tokyo Sea Life Park was free to public on 10/10/2025 for its 36th anniversary. Good little getaway from Tokyo!

Spent my final day in Japan to be in nature and did not disappoint. Quiet, calming, family friendly.

Amazing place, the atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. Was not too crowded on a Thursday morning. Spent about 2-3 hours there including lunch and a ferris wheel ride. Would definitely picnic there if I were to visit again.

Day or night, sunny or rainy, the view is gorgeous! We highly recommend allotting two days and two nights to be able to explore the entirety of this very long walkway and see different sights of the cherry blossoms and Tokyo Skytree. Breathing in some fresh air and watching boats pass by while taking a stroll is so relaxing. We would love to come back here. Tip: Lanterns light up from 6:30pm to 9pm. It's worth enduring the cold for the spectacular night scenery.

A short walk from Sensoji temple is another city attraction, the Sumida Park River Gallery a scenic urban oasis along the Sumida River. This place offers both locals and tourists an escape from the city’s busy pace with a mind blowing unique refreshments. The park is renowned for its beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, which transform the riverside walkways into a soft, pink landscape that’s perfect for flower viewing (hanami). Alongside the natural beauty, the park also a river cruise to enjoy the landmarks in a different perspective. This river part features curated art installations and structures, creating a unique blend of nature and urban culture. The "River Gallery" concept allows visitors to engage with art while enjoying the park's serene environment. The views of the Tokyo Skytree are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the city’s lights begin to reflect on the water. Besides its aesthetics, the park has been designed thoughtfully with seating areas, clean pathways, and small open-air cafes, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and social gatherings. Overall, Sumida Park River Gallery is an excellent blend of nature, art, and urban design, offering a peaceful retreat with a cultural edge in the heart of Tokyo. Spare some time here to experience the uniqueness of the japanese way of life

Pretty river views at night and quiet. Nice background views of Asahi HQ and Tokyo Skytree.

Spent our last day in Tokyo walking along the Sumida river. Was great to relax and take in a less crowded aspect of Tokyo. Taking a leisurely walk through the park areas along the river and observing the local people going about their day was a treat. It was obvious that there were things in place in preparation for upcoming Cherry Blossom season and we were lucky enough to get a small glimpse into their beauty.

Amazing views, very quiet area at night and it was breathtaking!!!

Really nice place to walking and jogging along side the river. There are benches to relax and enjoy the brezee air. The location is near from the Sumida Park, Tokyo Skytree, some train stations, and Asakusa area. You need to walk across the bridge and view the wonderful and amazing scenery.

Wonderful place to walk in Asakusa. Early morning walks are nice but the place really lights up (pun intended) at night. If you ever have any reason to stay in Asakusa, this river has to be one of the main ones.

Komazawa Olympic Park features a vast area with running tracks, sports facilities, and a playground for children, making it an ideal spot for families and athletes alike. The park also offers scenic walking paths that showcase beautiful nature throughout the seasons, providing a relaxing atmosphere. With cafes and restaurants on-site, it’s convenient for taking breaks or enjoying a light meal.

This place has a walking, jogging and bicycling track around the entire facility with distance markers. I'm not sure how long it is, but it feels like it's at least 2 miles. There were a lot of runners on Sunday when I visited. It's an ideal place to jog without having to worry about car traffic, and the pesky lawless bicycle riders, for the most part.

Very big park to take your family here to: pinic/ bicycle/ run/ skate/ gym. Sometimes there are flea markets as well. It’s so big that there are several smaller parks inside for kids to play like Pig park, squirrels park… You can spend almost a day here with different activities.

a very comfortable place to exercise in the afternoon. very spacious and lush garden. Even though it is a bit far from Komazawa Daigaku Station, the journey to get there is very pleasant because it passes through a road that is not too busy. A very suitable if you invite the family to exercise here. If you have pets, you are allowed to come here.

Big park, lots of facilities. Awesome running/cycling loop ~2.2km long. Baseball field, stadium/gym, basketball hoops, children playground, skating and kids cycling tracks, food and drink stand, and more. Always full of people day and night, especially weekends, but there is plenty of space to sit and exercise, so it never feels crammed.

In this park, there is a basketball ring under the East footbridge, near the Okaidan Kita hiroya.

This park is quite big with a few permanent shops to grab some food to eat at either those shops’ tables or at one of the park’s open areas. Don’t expect the quality to be good though. There are sometimes food trucks that are in the area as well. Lots of people run, bike, or even use the skate park! There’s a lot of open space as well for any other form of exercise that won’t bother other people. We saw some youngsters practicing parkour too!

Going up was like hell. I’m not that fit, and those stairs really destroyed me. I had to catch my breath with every step I took. But once I got to the top, the view was absolutely mesmerizing. There was a big cloud covering Mount Fuji at first, so I waited and waited until the sky finally cleared. I’m glad I did, because after putting in all that effort, I didn’t want to just stare at clouds, lol. In the end, I’m really happy I made it up there and got to enjoy such a beautiful view.

I took the most iconic photo of Mt. Fuji in Arakurayama Sengen Park, and a real sense of accomplishment hit me after my eight day trip to Sapporo, Osaka, Nara, and Kobe. Seeing Mt. Fuji in real life felt like the icing on the cake of my Japan trip. Surprisingly, it is not only the view of the pagoda that is amazing. The park itself is stunning, with beautiful autumn leaves. In my opinion, it rivals the autumn colors in Hokkaido. The park can get busy, so it is best to arrive before the tour groups, preferably before 8:00 am. The photo area near the pavilion can be crowded, so do not expect to have it to yourself. From Kawaguchiko Station, take the local train to Shimoyoshida Station, then walk for about ten minutes. The pavilion is accessible after climbing roughly 400 steps. Highly recommended.

Iconic view of Mount Fuji and Chureito Pagoda! Arakurayama Sengen Park is breathtaking, especially during cherry blossom season. The iconic view of the red Chureito Pagoda with Mount Fuji in the background is unforgettable and perfect for photography. The park is well-maintained, peaceful, and offers a lovely walk up the stairs with scenic spots along the way. A must-visit for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone wanting the classic Mount Fuji experience!

Early morning visit yo snap some photos of Fuji-San along with the ever popular Instagram snap of having Chureito Pagoda in the foreground and Miunt Fuji at the back. Weather was good this morning. Happy with my snaps. 😊 Note… It’s quite a walk up to the observation deck.

Described by the Japan National Tourism Organization as “A vividly hued park with an unbeatable view of Mt. Fuji”, it does precisely that provided the weather conditions permit. We came here last October 24. The day started rainy then cloudy. As the day progressed, the sun peeped a bit. Unfortunately, throughout these changes, Mt Fuji remained shy. We just had to content ourselves with some photo ops. There are 2 ways to climb to the top-one is an uphill slope while the other is through the stairs. Either choice, be sure to stop once in a while to appreciate the lush green surroundings and the cool, clean, crisp air. Climbing up and going down tickled our appetite so we bought some hot and sweet potato snacks. Fruits like grapes, oranges and apples were being sold at the bottom, too. Word of caution: The climb might be too taxing for seniors, persons with mobility issues and/or or people not used to walking uphill/climbing many flights of stairs. I personally enjoyed the hike that came with the view

Honestly, a great view for Mt. Fuji viewing. However, lots of tourists takes you away from the mindset that you're going to visit shrines that are sacred to the Japanese. Also, beware the food places. Because of the heavy number of tourists, the prices of the food and parking have shot up relative to the average costs you see in the cities of Tokyo or Osaka. Make sure to bring food from a kombini if you don't want to spend inflated prices for fries or takoyaki at the food stands.

The place itself is of unparalleled beauty. I visited during Autumn and the colours of the Maple Corridor were surreal. The market is like any average tourist trap worldwide. Bad food, sketchy souvenirs, absurd prices. Highly recommended as a stop, once in a lifetime experience

Totally polluted oil slick waters from nearly all waters here in park. The ones without oil, had a thick sludge of pond scum throughout the water. Poor birds and fish.

It’s a very nice park to spend your time. I jogged around the park and enjoyed people watching. Lots of parents brought their children dressed in their best to the shrine. The pond is currently under maintenance- no water. There’s one thing that bothers me a lot- all the animals at the zoo looks so sad to the point I can feel their sadness and frustrations. 😥😥😥😭😭

Very good place for relaxing and having some picnics. But sometimes have big black bird that wants to eat your food so please be careful.

Snaps from today (04/06) Bloom at its peak 🌸 Beautiful full bloom Sakura and lots of food stalls. We can have food and enjoy Hanami 🌸♥️

Went on 22Mar, Sakura was in full bloom and picnic is definitely the best way to enjoy the beauty. Crowd starts to come in from noon, by late evening it got really crowded. Bonus, there was a playground, free mini zoo and a small amusement park. It kept the kids occupied the whole day in the park.

An amazing open space park, located next to a lake and temple. Lots of open dirt areas to sit under the cherry blossoms in Spring, as per my photos. The paths were lined with lots of street food and festival games. The park can become extremely busy.

Absolutely beautiful park with so much too see and do. You can just stroll through and read about the various trees or visit one of the many event spaces; including archery, cycling, soccer, baseball, etc. There's even a free zoo. I thoroughly enjoy Omiya Park and I think you will too.

Before entering the park, we went to the information center (by the skateboard and bmx area) to ask for a map. They had 2 stamps there. The park is really big so there are lots of space to camp or have a picnic, play outdoor games/sports and such. It's sakura season so many people were camping by the sakura trees. The park has many sports facilities like basketball rings, tennis courts, solo tennis courts, softball field, and an indoor badminton court (¥200 per person and you need to bring indoor shoes). Also, vending machines inside the park are easy to find.

This is a huge regional park. I came here for the wild birds observation sanctuary. They offered many binoculars in different heights so little ones could also enjoy birds watching. I did walk around the park a little bit. They were many activities. It was a weekend in the middle of April. So a lot of families together enjoyed a sunny stroll in the park. I couldn’t help but observe from the station on many bicycles in this town.

This was a very nice park, I came to visit during a flea market event that was happening this weekend. It was a bit of a walk from the station, but the park alone was very nice. There was a lot of people enjoying the park by playing and walking their pets. It was very lively! I had to walk through here mostly to get to the Library but enjoyed my walk for sure. I would definitely come back if I ever find myself in the area.

It is a great park. One of the best that Tokyo has. You can play almost all sports in this park. They have a football field for children, a jogging track, solo tennis training, outdoor basketball, baseball, and many more. The jogging track is a soft road, and you can choose the easy trail if you want to. It is a great place to run. The picnic during summer was great, everything getting colorful in this park. The mall is easy to get to, there are a lot of restaurants there, near the mall, and sometimes they have a bazaar. It's really good to live around there. So many children also enjoy the playground park, there are plenty of vehicles that we can play with our children. The park is surrounded by apartments and also houses. So maybe is not a good idea to make it noisy before 9 am. In winter, if the snow falls, you can enjoy a lot of fun with the upside downhill. The toilet is near, but sometimes we can spot some dirtiness. But it was tolerable. I always love to see the town park. It is original and well maintained.

The park was not crowded at the time we went there. Nice place to stroll around and see beautiful flowers. There’s also a small coffee shop should one get hungry. You can also watch some individuals playing instruments. Would love to go back when cherry blossoms bloom.

Great park for all kinds of activities including waking, running, skating, cycling, and artistic activities as well such as painting. It is suitable for siting quietly and reading as well. Doing a picnic activity is very delightful on a day with a nice weather. The trees are beautiful and the leaves are a very clear indication of the change in seasons. This park is such a suitable place to walk your dog as well

Loved the place. Plenty of space/road for walking, jogging, running. Well equipped playground for kids. Lots of chairs (round table for groups as well) Most importantly lots of green grass to sit and relax.

A beautiful spot to enjoy cherry blossoms, especially during peak sakura season. The promenade along the Meguro River is lined with hundreds of cherry trees, creating a stunning tunnel of pink flowers. The atmosphere is lively, with many visitors strolling, taking photos, and enjoying seasonal treats from nearby stalls. In the evening, the illuminated blossoms add a magical touch. However, it can get extremely crowded, making it difficult to walk at a relaxed pace. Best visited early in the morning or on a weekday to avoid the biggest crowds.

Romantic promenade lined with cherry blossoms and lanterns. There was a light rain when we visited the place and to be honest, it added to its charm -- it made the place even more magical. The cherry blossoms weren't in full bloom but imagine if it were, it will provide a beautiful canopy over the river and promenade. If you watch the video, you'll see how the petals swayed with the wind, it's like it dances to the melody of the rain. It really is beautiful.

Meguro River is one of the most beautiful and iconic spots to enjoy cherry blossoms in Tokyo. During sakura season, the riverbanks are lined with hundreds of cherry trees in full bloom, creating a breathtaking tunnel of pink petals. The reflection of the blossoms on the water adds to the magical atmosphere, making it a perfect location for photography and leisurely walks. The area also features charming cafés, restaurants, and street vendors, allowing visitors to enjoy seasonal treats while soaking in the view. Whether you're visiting Tokyo in spring or simply looking for a serene escape in the city, Meguro River offers an unforgettable hanami experience.

I went on a grey drizzly Sunday. Consequently, few people walking the length. I limited my time in Tokyo as I prefer smaller locations and natural sights. However, this was beautiful even on a grey day. The blossoms do not let you down. On a sunny day, it would be breathtaking. I walked the full length and was all magical. I tried to arrange kayak trip down, but they cancelled due to inclement weather shame. The walk you can take your time or if in a hurry go fast or cut out. Paths go down both sides. I swapped sides to get different perspectives on different sections when passing bridges. Highly recommend that you will not be disappointed.

It’s the kind of beauty that makes you want to see in person. Though the peak of sakura season passed just a week ago, the charm of the spring lingers in the air, fresh green sprouts now peek from the branches, quickly whispering that the season is still alive. Cold night wind dances through the trees, it stirs the petals sending them down the river. The flowing water once a quiet blue, is now blushed with soft pink – a fleeting canvas of nature’s poetry. The scene, though touched by time, remains utterly enchanting.

The cherry blossoms make the promenade absolutely beautiful, but it can be difficult to enjoy due to the sheer volume of tourists that are always present. We went early on a weekday and it was still difficult to avoid large crowds, especially in the busier areas. Would recommend coming at maybe 6am if you want to get pictures with fewer people.

One of the famous Cherry Blossom spot in Tokyo. Rows of the Sakura tree’s stretching along the Meguro river. During full bloom the beauty is next level, the beauty of the Sakura petals floating. I visited here around April 12, it’s almost full bloom & end of Sakura season. It’s cost around 1hour max to max 1.5hour for enjoying viewing. Really enjoyed, must visit here.

I walked up and down and didn’t find any Sakuras.

It was nice but not as extensive as Megura River. I took train to Kanda station.

The most beautiful memory of Sakura

Breathtakingly beautiful!

This is no where near the sakura viewing location. Stop at Edogawabashi Station instead.

Beautiful scenery, but I was disappointed that there were no jet races the day I visited ;)

wonderful and heart-touching scenery during blossoms....

A serene temple complex offering a peaceful retreat from Tokyo's bustling city life. The expansive grounds feature impressive structures, including a five story pagoda built in 1608, recognized as the oldest in Tokyo. You can explore various cultural properties and enjoy panoramic views from the hilltop location. During cherry blossom season, the temple becomes particularly picturesque, with the pagoda framed by delicate pink blooms. Easily accessible from nearby train stations, it's a worthwhile visit for those interested in Japanese history, architecture and tranquil surroundings. Enjoy 😎🙏🧘🧘‍♀️

A very good way to spend the morning. I stayed at Kamata and ChatGPT recommended me to visit. Absolutely the best decision I made. I love to get away from the crowd and Ikegami Hommon Temple and the surrounding area is so serene. The day I went happened to be Shichi-Go-San (753 festival) and it's so cute to see so many kids dressed up in the tradition clothes to pray at the temple.

Beautiful complex of temples in Ikegami. During our visit, the temples are very quiet and not crowded at all. We have the whole temples for ourselves to enjoy in a sunny day. The entrance has stairs divided into 6 stages, each stage has 16 steps. From the bottom of stairs and look up, it gives visitors an impression that up there, there is a separate world.

A beautiful temple to visit especially during the cherry blossom season. Go on a weekday and you won’t get crowded out like some of the more popular destinations. Take your time and wander. Lots of nice little spots to enjoy the lovely blossoms.

A very nice and quiet temple sitting atop of a hill. There's an amazing five-stored pagoda next to it and in general a lot of small buddhist temples around it.

Very quiet place, beautiful scenery and temples. I recommend it.

I shared photos of the surrounding of the temple. It was mostly local on 12 October as they have a festival on that day. I felt this temple is more worthy to be visited than the ones in Asakusa and Tokyo tower. Please have a long walk around here, so many exploration.

Beautiful scenic river in the Tokyo prefecture

Ideal running course as well as camping site.

Its aa great for refreshment

Just look at the water guys, it’s just so smoothly going

Tokyo revengerssssss

Excellent environment. One must visit.

Perfect road for running!
