The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Akasaka / Roppongi, Kanto

May 10, 2022 Darwin Bolte

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

Hotel New Otani Japanese Garden

With a history of more than 400 years, the garden had in the past been the property of various known samurai lords. The 10-acre-ground features several ancient stone lanterns, scarlet bridges over koi ponds, a stone garden, waterfall, as well as a myriad of flowers and rich foliage that bloom or change colors from season to season. While nestled in the heart of this busy city, the quiet and peaceful ambience that enfolds the expanse provides a moment of repose to hotel guests and visitors alike. We hope you will come and enjoy the Japanese aesthetics and seasonal features when you come to stay with us or dine at our restaurants.

Every time we come to Tokyo we make time to walk through the gardens to the Meiji Shrine - we love the peace and natural surroundings in the middle of this busy and amazing city!

Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park

Reviewed By Cour14470 - Courseulles-sur-Mer, France

Arisugawa Park is a jewel. A (relatively) small park in the exclusive Hiro-o Azabu area but full of resources. A pond with plenty of turtles, a few fishermen in this typical Japanese setting to take great pictures especially in Spring with cherry blossoms or Fall with coloured leaves falling. Narrow pathways and staircases to discover the different areas of the park with kids and at the top a flat area with games for young kids and enough space to play frisbee, soccer or with remote small cars. Attached to it are the municipal tennis courts and baseball stadium where kids play loudly on weekends. A must if you live in the area, nice to see if not.

This park is a gem. It’s peaceful and in November the fall colors are gorgeous. It’s a few minutes walk from my hotel The B. Roppongi. I had my lunch on a bench and watched lots of people strolling and taking pictures. Great spot for kids since there’s a playground area.
