At a Glance
Hibiya Park is a Western-style public park in Chiyoda, Tokyo, next to the Imperial Palace outer gardens. It lies between the Kasumigaseki government district and the Shinbashi area, and opened to the public on June 1, 1903, as the first modern Western-style park in Japan. The grounds cover about 16 hectares.
Lawns, trees and flower beds follow a Western plan, while the Shinji pond preserves part of the old Edo Castle moat, with stone walls still visible. Ducks and other waterbirds can be seen on the pond. The Kubi-kake ginkgo, about 400 years old, was moved rather than cut down when a road was widened in 1901. The park also has an open-air concert hall known as Yaon and memorials including a Liberty Bell given by the United States.
