Shirakawa Park

白川公園

Aichi · Chubu

A leafy central-Nagoya park built around a still pond and shaded walking paths, Shirakawa Park is also home to the Nagoya City Science Museum (with one of the world's largest planetariums) and the Nagoya City Art Museum. It sits just five minutes from Osu Kannon's crowded arcades but feels like a different city entirely.

Why we picked it

Overshadowed by Osu's shopping crowds next door, this park is used mostly by locals on lunch breaks and families visiting the museums rather than by sightseers passing through.
