Sequence Miyashita Park

Miyashita Park is a reimagined urban green space that reopened in 2020 as part of Tokyo's largest urban redevelopment project in the Shibuya district. Originally established as a public park in 1953, the site underwent complete transformation into a multi-level complex that combines traditional park functions with modern commercial and cultural facilities. The project represents Japan's innovative approach to maximizing limited urban space while preserving essential green areas for city residents.

The park serves as a crucial green lung in one of Tokyo's busiest districts, providing 14,000 square meters of rooftop parkland elevated above street level. This design creates a unique urban oasis that demonstrates Japanese concepts of space efficiency and environmental harmony within dense metropolitan areas. The facility integrates seamlessly with Shibuya's commercial ecosystem while maintaining its role as a public recreational space, reflecting contemporary Japanese urban planning philosophy.

Visitors can explore the rooftop park featuring walking paths, exercise areas, and climbing walls alongside panoramic views of central Tokyo. The ground level houses the Sequence Miyashita Park shopping complex, containing over 90 shops and restaurants representing both international brands and local Japanese retailers. The 240-room Sequence Miyashita Park hotel occupies the upper floors, offering accommodation integrated within the park structure. Notable facilities include outdoor sports courts, playground equipment, and multiple dining terraces.

The park maintains year-round accessibility with seasonal programming that includes sakura viewing spots during spring cherry blossom season from March to May. Summer months feature extended evening hours for outdoor activities, while autumn provides comfortable temperatures for walking and exercise. Winter illuminations typically run from November through February, creating atmospheric evening visits despite cooler weather.

JR Yamanote Line connects directly to Harajuku Station, located immediately adjacent to the park entrance. The facility is also accessible via Tokyo Metro Chiyoda and Fukutoshin Lines at Meiji-jingu-mae Station, requiring a 3-minute walk. Park access is free of charge with 24-hour availability for outdoor areas, though individual shops and restaurants maintain separate operating hours typically from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The complex provides multilingual signage and information services for international visitors.
