What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Yoyogi Park is a large green retreat in Shibuya, with open lawns and tree-lined paths near Harajuku.

A road divides the wooded Section A from Section B's sports grounds and outdoor-stage area. The central lawn and zelkova-lined paths offer space for an unhurried walk, while seasonal blossoms and autumn foliage change the scenery. The grounds also retain a building from the 1964 Olympic athletes' village. Individual facilities and events have their own operating conditions, separate from an ordinary park stroll.

  • Open central lawn beneath the trees
  • Zelkova-lined walking paths

How do I visit?

Admission

Free

Ordinary park grounds are free and continuously open. Sports facilities, cycle hire, events, the service centre and the separately managed Jinnan 1-chome area have their own conditions. Current works and event restrictions affect particular paths and facilities; check the dated official notices rather than assuming unrestricted use. No uniform visit duration or ordinary park booking deadline applies.

Reservation

Not required

Know before you go

  • Choose an entrance for the park section you want, and use the official works notice to plan a walking route. As checked on 17 October 2026, fountain and rose-area works affect some paths, the athletics field is closed through 30 November, and cycling-course works run 5 October–12 November. During the announced 13 November 2026–11 January 2027 event, the cycling course is unavailable 17:00–22:00. These are local restrictions, not a whole-park closure. Follow diversions and walk rather than run on the narrow construction detour.
