Loved Hibiya park which is within walking distance from Ginza (or even from Kyobashi and Marunouchi areas).
We went in the last week of November and it happened to be a Saturday when a very happening food festival took place. The park itself has some minor construction work going on but the Crane Pond (Kumogata Pond) where you will find the most beautiful fall colours was not affected at all. We just wandered around the rest of the park a bit after snapping what seemed like a thousand pictures and found children playing in the playground, parents pushing the stroller and people exercising. It is an actively used park by residents nearby. Lovely vibe. Wish we had more time to just chill and people watch there.
visited during November 25-28th 2025, absolutely loved walking through here, decently sized park with beautiful ponds, especially Kumogata Pond with the Crane Fountain (South West of the park). Shinji-Ike Pond (North East of the park) also has a serene feeling to it.
Plenty of park benches around and toilets, a flower shop is nearby too; There is a souvenir stamp for those collecting- You’ll find it at the park’s service center.
Small walk from and to Kasumigaseki and Yurakucho stations.
We strolled to Hibiya Park (日比谷公園) at dusk (around 4:30pm). We attended the last day of the Sakana Japan Festival. The Festival was held at Hibiya Park from 28/11 to 30/11/25. It is one of Japan’s largest seafood festivals where visitors can enjoy a wide variety of fresh seafood dishes including rice bowls, fisherman’s meals, seafood ramen, and paella from vendors across the country. We managed to sample a few such as akasiyaki and snow crab soup. The atmosphere in the Park was nice and relaxed.
We walked back to Yūrakuchō Station 有楽町駅 and past the Tokyo Midtown Hibiya where beautiful illumination has lighted up the square.
It is not a big park but full of beautiful scenaries. We came here in the fall and the scene was magnificent. The park is not so crowded, lots of space to sit and roam around for peaceful moments. Plus, it is right next to a subway station.
Gorgeous priceless jewel of a park. In the autumn when the leaves turn, you can just sit on one of the numerous benches take it all in. I love that it’s not crowded and that it is right next to the Hibiya library (English books are on the 2nd floor). There is a Tully coffee shop and a couple of restaurants inside the park. One of my favorite spots in Tokyo. It’s off the beaten track enough.
