Inokashira Park

Inokashira Park

井の頭恩賜公園

Tokyo · Kanto

Inokashira Park is free and ungated at any hour, though the zoo inside charges ¥400 separately. It is built around a spring-fed pond that supplied Edo's water, with swan boats, a long cherry avenue that arches over the water, and the Ghibli Museum at its western edge on a separate ticket.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on more famous attractions in Tokyo, overlooking this tranquil oasis.
