Traveler reviews
David Holderbach Ibiza Real Estate Photography
★★★★★2 months agoThe not so typical park in a metropolis. A silent, peaceful, green and joyful park full of areas for activities, children areas, gardening, bitd watching and walks. Areas for dogs. Spectacular time, i think this was one of our favourites times in Tokyo. We spent a whole afternoon in this park and took many photos with the camera, and phone. Also visited the temple area next morning, which is quite busy at moments. Very nice too, with a green surrounding walk to get to the temple. Very much suggested!

★★★★★2 months agoOne of my favorite parks in the world. It’s great for families, friends, couples…anyone who wants an active experience or a relaxed and quiet time. You can find just about anything here in terms of people from around the world, live music, beautiful flowers, city skyline backdrops beyond the intense greenery. A great place to jog, walk, and ride tandem, too. I especially love the Sunday afternoon African drumming!! 🤩🎶 There are plenty of both shaded and sunny areas, too- something for everyone! You can’t have BBQs here, but there are picnic tables if you prefer them over picnic sheets.
