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

Super cute park! The leaves were falling from the trees when we visited, which made for a truly magical sight. There is a lake in the middle that you can paddle in or ride a duck boat. Walking paths surrounding it, along with children's play area and bridges along the way. Cafes and restaurants dotted along the path as well. Not so crowded - come for a relaxing time in a beautiful place!

Absolutely gorgeous park. Amazing fall colors with a great atmosphere. Very clean well maintained park. Great place for photos, family time, and friends. There is a playground nearby with slides and swings, as well as a Ghibli Museum close by. Lovely cafes and restaurants dot the area too. Lots to take in, with ample amounts of benches as seating around the pond. Lovely park.

Peaceful park with varied botanical gardens. The scenery and vegetation changes with the seasons. There are many cafes, restaurants, and shopping areas nearby.

Truly a slice of heaven on earth. That was my memory from visiting this park when I ventured to Kichijoji. Full of autumn colours, lively with locals (and perhaps tourists, but I did not notice), crowded yet serene, a must-visit regardless you have a successful or not day of thrifting in the area :)

Beautiful park that offers sports facilities like tennis courts or a running field as well as 2 small zoo's and a pond. The Ghibli museum is inside this park. A small temple is also inside this park that you will definitely pass by. Every Saturday there seem to be a few artists selling their products like postcards, some accessories, ceramic,... There is a nice train spotting place close to the Inokashira-koen station.
