Free Tour of Yoyogi Park and Meiji Shrine

We'll meet at Exit No. 3 of the Yoyogi-Koen Station on the Chiyoda Line of the Tokyo Metro.

We’ll start the tour at the small Yoyogi Fukamachi Mini Park, where we’ll find the unique transparent restrooms designed by Shigeru Ban. Did you know these restrooms appeared in the Oscar-nominated film “Perfect Days”?

Then we’ll continue on to Yoyogi Park, a perfect natural escape in one of Tokyo’s most popular neighborhoods. Did you know that, although it’s now a gathering spot for Tokyo residents, it wasn’t originally open to the general public?

After enjoying the park’s natural setting, we’ll catch a glimpse of the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, one of the most eccentric works by the famous architect Kenzo Tange.

Finally, we’ll visit the Meiji Shrine, which, with its significant history, is the city’s most important Shinto shrine and one of the three most important shrines in the country.
