Inokashira Park

4.4 (200)ParkTourist AttractionPoint Of InterestEstablishment

Inokashira Park in Tokyo is a great place to visit. It opened in 1917 and covers about 95 acres. The park has a big pond where you can rent rowboats or swan boats. Many people love to come here during the cherry blossom season in spring. The park has over 500 cherry trees that bloom beautifully.

Inokashira Park is more than just trees and water. There’s a zoo with native animals and birds, and the famous Ghibli Museum is here, too. The museum shows the magic behind Studio Ghibli's animated films. It's a fun place for kids and adults alike.

On weekends, the park gets lively with street performers and artists showing their work. You can often find musicians playing or artists selling their crafts. There’s also a shrine, Benzaiten Shrine, dedicated to the goddess of music and water, which adds a peaceful touch.

The park is a great mix of nature, culture, and fun. Whether you’re boating, watching animals, enjoying a picnic, or exploring the museum, Inokashira Park has something for everyone.

What other travelers are saying about Inokashira Park

❇️ Inokashira Park 恩赐公园 --------------------------------------- 🌳🌿🍁 - It was about 5.30pm when we reached Inokashira Park. 🟨 By then, the skies in Tokyo had become a solemn grey, and it was much too dim for me to take any nice photos at all. 😘So we just strolled around the park, and take in the cool 16°degs Celsius autumnal air. As it grew even darker by 6pm, we saw people arriving at the park with their pet dogs and there were many joggers around too. - The atmosphere here at Kichijoji area was a tad more relaxed than the central Shinjuku area. ✅️💙 Here, it seems more family-friendly. ● Mothers were out with their kids, young courting couples strolled about, elderly people strolled in groups, chatting and laughing in glee....it was a beautiful chilly autumnal day here in Tokyo.💜 ● Kichijoji station area: ✔️ We walked around this neighbourhood after visiting Inokashira Goen (park). ✳️ The park is directly connected to the shopping districts you see. ➡️ It is a fashionable shopping area that appeals to younger people, with lots of coffee cafes and indie shops.

Beautiful scenic park. We had our Totoro puffs here before we visited the Ghibli Museum nearby! The park is very peaceful and has many seats. Perfect for picnic. The toilet isn’t well maintained though because of the outdoors so I didn’t use it 😂

Lovely park with a zoo, pond, temple on the way from the train to Ghibli museum, making the walk feeling going into one of the Ghibli movies... There is a temple but I found out the goddess by legend is not couple friendly so you might not want to pray for love there...success and money ia okay

Sakura was in full bloom. Not too many visitors on a weekday. I enjoyed so much the stunning scenery there. The pale pink colour of the Yoshino sakura was gorgeous. Full bloom only lasted a few days. Highly recommend to pay a visit in the near future to avoid disappointment. Restrooms were available in the park. Easily accessible but unfortunately not that clean and smell a bit.

Very chill park. When i visited it was very sparsely populated, but definitely would be busy during more popular times. Fairly large park, with plenty of vending machines and shops for foods. There is a large pond in the middle, with rental boats. Lots of benches. Known among my bird watching friends for owls (in the right season). It’s surrounded by a dense forest, and a large portion of the park is occupied by a zoo. Definitely would recommend for people looking for a good park who don’t have the money or time to go all the way to Kasai.
