What other travelers are saying about Inokashira Park
Such a beautiful, tranquil park with a lake in the middle.
You can even hire out different boats for half an hour from a dock (row boats, Swan pedal boats) to take across the lake. I took a pedal boats with a friend. This was such a great and fun experience.
There are also a few shrines around the park, and a few streets with eateries and shops to look around if you get bored. There's also a playground for little kids.
The greenery is also spectacular, especially against the backdrop of the lake. I went during June but the park was still very lush. Highly recommend this spot as a nice break from the busy Tokyo city.
With around 500 cherry blossom trees and a beautiful pond, Inokashira Park is a great cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo. The Ghibli Museum is located near the park.
Lovely park, an oasis of tranquility in the midst of a bustling city. We were surprised by how calm and large it is. Beautifully laid out, spotless and numerous activities. The park also contains a small zoo. The lake adds to the overall serenity. You can rent a pedalo, or a rowing boat, to admire the scenery from the water. The train station is very close to an entrance, and the park is free of charge. Afterwards cross the station to find yourself in covered shopping streets. Plenty of shops and restaurants around, including in the train station.
