Todoroki Valley is a secret garden in Setagaya ward, Tokyo. This small valley is the only one of its kind in Tokyo's 23 wards, stretching about a kilometer long.

The valley has the Yazawa River running through it, surrounded by dense trees that are a cool oasis in the summer. One of the main attractions is Todoroki Fudoson Temple, a historical site dedicated to the Buddhist deity Fudo Myoo from the Heian period (794-1185).

You can walk along the paved paths, cross the bridges, and find hidden spots like the ancient tombs from the Kofun period (300-538 AD). The valley is also famous for its ferns and mossy stones which add to the peaceful and mystical atmosphere.

In spring, Todoroki Valley is filled with cherry blossoms; in autumn, it’s a riot of red and orange. Despite its small size, Todoroki Valley is a favorite for those who want to experience nature without leaving the city.

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

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.

I had a really great experience in here!!! A lot of traditional Japanese style buildings. Not crowded at all, really quiet and beautiful place.

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.
