Overview

Last century, this was the parade ground for the Japanese Army, and now the nations first western style park has become an oasis for tired workers who on sunny days gather at lunchtime and have a few minutes repose from office-related stress. On weekends, the place is popular among courting couples. Close to the Imperial Palace and a short walk from Ginza, the Park also has a library, public tennis courts, restaurants, a flower shop and an open-air arena where concerts are often held.

After leaving Ginza, I decided to walk to Roppongi. I went through this park and took a picture of a rose in bloom in January. The park is very famous, not the largest, Ueno is much better, yet it is free and a few blocks out of Ginza where you should have been to the Free Sony Building. The Ginza area did nothing for me and I am a person that likes value and food (Kappa Sushi - sushi that is 105 yen per plate). You are at a Metro stop when visiting the park. Get on the Metro afterwards - not much else to see and do of interest.
