What is Yoyogi Park?
Yoyogi Park is an urban green space located in central Tokyo, Japan. It offers an accessible retreat from the city environment with its open spaces and welcoming nature. The park is a favored spot for both locals and visitors, ideal for picnics, walks, and various outdoor activities. Its cherry blossom trees become particularly popular during sakura season, drawing many to view the blooms.
Located next to Meiji Shrine and near the Shibuya and Harajuku districts, Yoyogi Park also serves as a site for cultural activities. On weekends, it features performances and community events, providing opportunities for cultural engagement. The park’s spacious lawns and scenic paths make it a suitable venue for events like the SAKANA & JAPAN FESTIVAL 2025, where participants can enjoy Japanese seafood surrounded by a blend of natural and urban settings.
