Yoyogi Park

Yoyogi Park (代々木公園, Yoyogi Kōen) is one of Tokyo's largest parks, offering wide lawns, ponds, and forested areas, perfect for jogging, picnicking, and outdoor activities. It is a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Although it has fewer cherry trees than other parks in Tokyo, it is still a great spot for hanami in spring, with beautiful views during late March and early April. The park is also famous for its ginkgo tree forest, which turns a stunning golden color in autumn.

Before becoming a city park in 1967, Yoyogi Park was home to the Olympic Village for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and was also used as a residential area for US military personnel. Today, it stands as a tranquil spot, where locals and tourists alike can enjoy nature and outdoor activities. It’s the ideal escape from the city's hustle and bustle, offering something special every season.
