What other travelers are saying about Todoroki Valley
I entered from the temple entrance. If you come out from Todoroki station and see that the entrance to the park is closed off, don't give up!
As of 31 May 2025, large sections of the park are still closed off, but what I could see was absolutely fantastic.
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
The absolute quiet and green of this place is surreal. One minute you're walking the streets of Tokyo and the next it's absolutely quiet and you're in the midst of tiny forest
Take note that the park entrance that’s closest to Todoroki Station is currently closed for construction until August 2026.
However, part of the park is still accessible from the nearby Todoroki Fudoson Temple.
This place is a natural sanctuary in the middle of the concrete jungle of Tokyo. Amazing how the city has been able to maintain it. When inside, you can barely hear anything but nature and faraway voices of local tourists.
The walking path that runs alongside the Yazawa River in Todoroki Valley is approximately 1.2 kilometers long. This well-maintained path is easy to navigate and takes you past all of the valley's key attractions.
Todoroki Valley boasts several notable attractions, including the ancient Todoroki Fudoson Temple, the picturesque Golf-Bashi Bridge, and the Setsugetsuka tea house, where you can experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
No, as Todoroki Valley is a nature preserve, bicycles and vehicles are not allowed. The valley is meant to be explored on foot to preserve its tranquility and natural beauty.
Todoroki Valley is a beautiful destination throughout the year. However, spring and autumn are particularly scenic times to visit. In spring, you can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom, while autumn brings a display of stunning fall foliage.
Todoroki Valley is currently closed due to safety concerns arising from fallen trees. The closure began in September 2023 after heavy rains caused several trees to fall in the area, making it unsafe for visitors. The walking path by the stream, which constitutes about 90% of the ravine, is particularly affected. As of now, a reopening date has not been announced.
