Neighborhood: Shibuya / Harajuku / Ebisu
There are countless opportunities to shop in the Shibuya and Harajuku districts, especially in shops that focus on Japan's "Kawaii" culture. The trendiest areas are around Shibuya’s Center district, Harajuku's Takeshita-dori and in Omotesando. If you need to recharge from all the shopping, you can easily refresh yourself in Meiji Jingu or Sasaki Park. In contrast, Ebisu has a more grown up ambiance of calm and cool. At the Museum of Yebisu Beer you can learn about the beer that was responsible for the town’s name, and enjoy dining at the popular noodle shops in the surrounding area.

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.

It reminded me of Cambodia, a place I've visited several times. Songs, dances, traditional costumes, and thousands of spectators...before I knew it, I was engulfed in a circle of dancers. The unique rhythm was linked to Japanese songs, and I felt like I had traveled back in time. I went with the flow and wanted to keep going like this forever and ever...

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.

I had a delightful visit to Yoyogi Park, and it was absolutely splendid. The sprawling green spaces were perfect for a leisurely stroll, and the atmosphere was wonderfully tranquil despite being in the heart of Tokyo. Watching families, joggers, and performers brought a charming sense of community. I particularly enjoyed sitting under the trees with a good book and a cup of coffee. It’s a perfect escape from the city’s hustle and bustle—highly recommended for a relaxing afternoon!

Tokyo Metropolitan Park is a five-minute walk from JR Harajuku Station. Originally the site of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Village. Be aware that the fountain area is under construction and sealed off in the next five years or so. We were having a picnic at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic and we were talking about Nisho again lol

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.

We loved our picnic under the cherry trees. The park is particularly magical in autumn with its flamboyant colors. Street artists on weekends add a unique cultural touch. A perfect place to recharge and observe the daily life of Tokyoites.

We entered at a side entrance as we had been exploring Shibuya via bus. As a result, we were greeted with locals going about their daily routine: kids having an outdoor session with their pre-school teacher, people cycling with their dogs, mums cycling and singing to their kid in-tow, joggers etc. It was an interesting start to our experience in the park.
even though the pond / lake area was under construction, there was still enough views and greenery around to keep the eyes busy and relaxed. The park looked well maintained with trash packed and securely stored into bins with little risk of spillage.
As we made our way to the shrine and the metro entrance, the vibe became more touristy. Still, it was a good number of views and signage to pick up the beauty of the park and the history behind it.
if weather permits, this would make a great stop.

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.

Is the athletics track open to tourists / visitors to train (e.g.. for 1- 2 hours) in early morning or late afternoon? If yes- do we need to register.

When are the performers out on a Sunday? I went last Sunday from around 1-3pm, walked all around the park and there were no street performers. It is only a certain time they do their thing?
Written April 8, 2019
Sorry you missed the street performers: dancers, jugglers, buskers. I have seen them Sunday mornings. The rock dancers usually congregate at the front of the park.

Does the Yoyogi Park have a price to get in? And how long should we leave to adventure in Yoyogi??
Written May 6, 2018
No admission fee. You can enjoy rich greenery for many hours as you like but probably a couple of hours will just nice period.

Does this park have a playground for young children? If not - can you recommend somewhere in the area that does have play equipment (slides, swings etc). Thank you!

When does the park close on Sundays? We will be in the area after dinner and wouldn't mind taking a stroll if we can.
Written January 6, 2018
Yoyogi park does not close during the night. I always, especially in summer time, have picnics with my friends.
I think a lot of people are confused Yoyogi park and Meijijingu which is the shrine attached to Yoyogi park. Meijijingu closes at 5 and last entry time is 4 I believe! Happy holidays to you :)

Hi everyone. We've been really looking forward to hanging out in Yoyogi Park to soak up the Cosplay and Rockabilly vibe. To our horror we've just realised we won't be in Tokyo on a Sunday! Doh! What are the chances of seeing any Cosplay action on a Saturday? Or on weekdays for that matter? Thanks in advance...
Written March 18, 2017
Sometimes you can cross Rockabilly and Cosplay by walking around Tokyo. But in Yoyogi park, on Sundays, you have bigger chances. Better change your plans if you really want to see them in action!
