[2025 Tokyo ] Travel Guide for Toyama Park (Okubo Area) (Updated Apr)

#springwander Toyama Park is broadly divided into two parts: the Hakoneyama area centred on the highest peak "Hakoneyama" on the Yamanote Line and the Okubo area across Meiji Street. Although Mt. Hakone is only 44.6 metres high, it is the highest peak on the Yamanote Line, and you can enjoy the scenery of the park from the top. In addition, many Somei Yoshino are planted on Mt. Hakone, and it is also known as a cherry blossom viewing spot visited by many cherry blossom visitors in spring.

The park's design incorporates a harmonious blend of natural landscapes and well-maintained pathways, inviting individuals to explore its scenic beauty while enjoying recreational activities. Visitors to Toyama Park are often captivated by the tranquil atmosphere, which is enhanced by the presence of diverse flora and fauna, making it an ideal location for relaxation and contemplation.

#thingstodo Large, scenic, dog-friendly park(leash required). I walk my dog here several times a week, both day and night. There is also a ~1.1 km walking/jogging circuit that's marked around the edges of the park(I think the 1/10 km markers are perhaps a little unevenly spaced). Many play areas for kids. Lots of trees and shade around the outside, and a big open central field in the middle. No gates, open 24 hours, though some paths may be poorly lit very late at night.
