Came here for the fall colors on Dec 04, 2023. This park is just next to Meiji Shrine Inner Garden. Golden gingko painted the garden in cheerful tone. A very relaxing walk to start the day right. Please check out the pictures.

Unfortunately, it was raining the day we had to walk around the park. It was a nice walk in the rain; however, the cold snap had delayed the cherry blossoms so the park was still in its winter glory. It was nice to see the park had a dedicated bicycle path.

Saturdat the 6th was the peak of the cherry-blossoming this year and this park was so fulll of people that celebrated it that it was unreal and even more unreal was that everyone took their trash with them when they left which is really amazzing. A park with millions of people and no trash left, try that western world! S impressive and then the trees!

Tokyo is an amazing city. It's vibrant, fun, and can be a little overwhelming. Yoyogi Park on a Monday, when we visited, was the perfect respite we didn't know we needed. The entire park was covered in beautifully manicured trees. There was hardly anyone around but joggers, groundskeepers, and a few others. Lot's of benches to sit to rest your tired feet and clean bathrooms throughout as you would expect.

Wonderfully large and FREE park in Tokyo. Located within walking distance to the TOCHO. This magnificent park is full of lovely mature shade trees, winding paths and an abundance of grass areas to rest, picnic and contemplate life. One of our top sites while visiting Tokyo. Would rival New York's Central Park and Vancouver's Stanley Park. Follow the paths toward the Meiji Shrine and garden. Delightful!! When observing it from the TOCHO, it is huge in this mammoth city centre. Would I recommend a visit to Yoyogi Park...YES! A must visit!!

Yoyogi Park is a 133-acre park near Harajuku and the Meiji Shrine in Shibuya, Tokyo. It is a popular Tokyo destination and a gathering place for Japanese cosplayers, other subcultures, and hobby groups, as well as those who seek nature and athletics in the middle of a busy city. The landscaped park has picnic areas, bike paths, cycle rentals, public sports courts, and a dog run. We saw many people walking their adorable dogs and strolling along in the drizzling Tokyo rain. This year’s weather stayed colder for longer than normal, so unfortunately, they were having a late blooming year. We hadn’t seen any Sakura yet, but we saw the start of spring in Japan! When the rain let up a little, we stopped at the park’s concession stand. There, we enjoyed Pork Buns, Japanese chip flavors, sake, and a delicious peach drink while watching the world walk by. It was so peaceful.

Yoyogi Park in Tokyo is a green oasis in the heart of the bustling city, perfect for a relaxing stroll. The park is spacious, with wide paths and lush greenery, making it a haven for both locals and tourists. It's almost unbelievable to find such thick greenery in one of Tokyo's busiest parts. A standout feature is the diversity of activities. We rented bikes, which were inexpensive, well-maintained, and safe, making it a great choice with our daughter. There are no cars, so it's ideal for families with small children. While the park's overall cleanliness is commendable, the public toilets are often very dirty, which detracts from the experience. Despite this, Yoyogi Park remains a delightful escape from Tokyo's urban rush, offering a perfect blend of nature, culture, and activity. Just be prepared to share this wonderful space with many others seeking tranquility and fun.

The last time we visited Japan was in 2018, and seeing the Strangers in Shibuya's Yoyogi Park on Sunday was at the top of my list of things to do/see. Unfortunately, I didn't know where to see them in Yoyogi Park. This time, I learned that they are at the clock tower Sundays at 1 PM. The Strangers put on a great performance on an incredibly hot and humid day. Their love of the rockabilly culture and music was sincere and obvious. What I will remember is seeing Strangers leader Charlie walking around the area cleaning up the area by picking up discarded cigarette butts.
