Yoyogi Park

Yoyogi Park is an especially aesthetically pleasing park and a peaceful oasis in the heart of Tokyo. The park is often used as a gathering place of groups of people wanting to meet up in Tokyo and openly express themselves in a beautiful environment, such as martial artists and cosplayers. Street performers and rockabillies may be found here during the weekends. Elderly people exercising. And festivals are often celebrated here. It’s pretty much the hangout park of Tokyo.

The park itself is quite large and resembles a forest with a multitude of walking paths. In the south of the park there are many places to sit down at small fountains, where people can enjoy their lunch while enjoying the harmonious nature and rows of blossom trees. You will also find people skating and taking a stroll with their families.

To the north of the park you will find one of the highlights of Tokyo. Within the forest you will find the sacred Meiji Shrine, where the former Emperor Meiji is honored. When you visit the free Yoyogi Park in Tokyo then it’s a good idea to also visit the shrine to see how the Japanese honor their people.
