What other travelers are saying about Todoroki Valley
We visited here on a rainy day as we wanted to get away from the concrete jungle and see some green.
Some of the park was closed off due to fallen trees so we didn't get to explore everything. But what we did was lovely. I think she to the rain we pretty much had the place to ourselves only seeing 2 other people during our walk which lasted about an hour.
Great place to visit
Beautiful greenery that makes for a really relaxing atmosphere. The attached shrine is also beautiful, with a unique feel. You can enjoy tea and kakigoori (shaved ice) in the stores next to the shrine. The Japanese-style garden is also worth the perusal. Despite the ravine track being currently closed, you can still enjoy exploring the surrounding area.
In the heart of the largest urban agglomeration on the planet lies an oasis of calm and beauty.
Stretching 1.2 kilometres this 15 metre deep ravine is a true hidden gem. From the bustling streets, teeming with traffic, you descend to a cobbled path that meanders along a cool stream past majestic trees and groves of giant bamboo. Interestingly enough, there are few foreign tourists yet information panels in English help guide you through the main points of interest. Make sure to walk through the Japanese garden. Although I’ve only visited in summer, the ravine is known for the incredible colours of it’s fall foliage.
To do it justice you should plan on a bare minimum of one hour although one could easily spend a half-day enjoying this natural treasure.
A beautiful and peaceful park set in the only valley in Tokyo. A great place to walk when it's hot and humid. There is also a shrine at the end of the trail which offers incredible views and delicious ice cream.
