Beautiful peaceful space in the centre of Tokyo

Great place to unwind and enjoy a beautifully kept garden. Staff on entry are friendly and helpful as well! It would be easy to lose track of the hours here!

Nice park

It is definitely comparable to the other well known parks such as Hyde in London, Central in New York, etc. it is very close to a subway station. We felt very comfortable walking in this park.

A Nice Place to Relax

Even though there are plenty of parks scattered throughout Tokyo with similar scenery, it's nice to see a park that has enough room to lay on the grass and play, especially if you have a family.
