Yoyogi Park

Park Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan

What to expect

Yoyogi Park is a large public park in Tokyo, known for its wide lawns, ponds, and forested areas. It's a great place for outdoor activities like jogging, picnicking, and people-watching. The park is especially popular on Sundays when it's used as a gathering place for various groups, including Japanese rock music fans, jugglers, comedians, martial arts clubs, and cosplayers. In the spring, thousands of people visit the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms, while in the autumn, the park's ginkgo tree forest turns intensely golden. The park has a rich history, having been used as the site of the Olympic Village for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and, before that, as a residential area for US military personnel
