Yes, admission to Sakurazaka Park is completely free. The park is always open to the public as an outdoor recreational space, making it an accessible and budget-friendly destination for families visiting the Roppongi area. There are no entrance fees or charges for using any of the park's facilities or play equipment.
The park itself is always open with no closing hours. However, the popular 13-meter-long roller slide has restricted usage during nighttime and early morning hours for safety and noise considerations. Visitors are advised to plan their visit during daytime hours to enjoy all of the park's attractions, particularly if children want to use the roller slide.
Sakurazaka Park is primarily designed for young children and families, with play equipment and cushioned surfaces appropriate for kids aged approximately 3 to 10 years old. The colorful robot sculptures and artistic installations also appeal to adults and photography enthusiasts. The spring bounce equipment and slides are scaled for smaller children, though the unique design by artist Choi Jeong-Hwa makes it an interesting destination for visitors of all ages.
The park is within easy walking distance from Roppongi Station, which is served by both the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Toei Oedo Line. From the station, follow signs toward Roppongi Hills and look for the Sakurazaka slope. The park is located along this slope at 6-16-46 Roppongi, Minato-ku, making it convenient to combine with a visit to the nearby Roppongi Hills shopping and dining complex.
The park can be enjoyed year-round, but the optimal time to visit is during late March to early April when the Someiyoshino cherry trees planted along Sakurazaka slope come into full bloom. This adds natural beauty to the already colorful robot-themed installations. For the most pleasant experience, visit during weekday mornings when the park is less crowded, or time your visit with the cherry blossom season for the most photogenic scenery.
