Yoyogi Park

代々木公園

Tokyo · Kanto

One of Tokyo's largest city parks, a flat expanse of lawn, zelkova groves and cycling paths in Shibuya, laid out on the ground that held the 1964 Olympic Village. A fountain axis runs down its centre with the Shinjuku towers standing behind the trees, and the lawns fill on weekends with picnickers, buskers, drum circles and dog walkers.

Why we picked it

It is a mainstream city park rather than a find, but almost everyone who comes here is heading somewhere else first, and the quieter northern groves stay empty even on a busy Sunday.
