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

Such a beautiful park area, plenty of open space to walk or just relax. This was my first time visiting this location, it was recommended by a friend from Japan. I was happy to find my first blossom of the year ☺️ The park is very clean, friendly and feels very safe. There also seemed to be places to eat and drink within the park area, but my only plan was to walk and keep walking ☺️ Will definitely come here again

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.

Inokashira Park is a delightful green escape in bustling Tokyo. While a bit outside the main tourist hubs, its peaceful atmosphere and the nearby Ghibli Museum make it a worthwhile visit for a relaxing afternoon. I was so happy to see beautiful Sakura at this time!

Lovely park, with long walks and beautiful surroundings, many cherry blossoms and other types of trees, birds and plants. Great place to unwind or escape the noise of the city, plus you have other attractions nearby or within it.
