Park

Message from
Tabimawari

Unique park founded in 1904 by philosopher Inoue Enryō, located in Nakano. It blends nature, spirituality, and architecture, with over 70 monuments, pavilions, and statues inspired by Eastern and Western philosophical concepts. The park invites quiet reflection, with paths lined with symbolic elements, a peaceful garden, and iconic structures like the “Gate of Non-Duality” and the “Hall of Illumination.” Particularly popular during cherry blossom season.

Price: Free entry to the park (some buildings may be closed to the public)
Touristy?: Moderately touristy. Known among Tokyo locals and fans of unusual spots, but still under the radar for most foreign tourists.
