Tokyo is not only a bustling modern city, but it also has many beautiful parks. If you are visiting Tokyo, after visiting the sights and sounds of the city and shopping in the commercial centres, it is a great way to relax in a few peaceful and beautiful parks. This article will give you some recommendations for parks in Tokyo that are worth visiting. Mizumoto Park 

Mizumoto Park is the only park in Tokyo with a waterfront view. There are various water-friendly trees such as aspen, sequoia and Japanese alder in the park, and in addition to trees, the park is also filled with flowers during cherry blossom season. The river in the park is sometimes coloured by some algae plants, making the park colourful and a great place to take pictures.

Hibiya Park is one of the more unique parks because many of the team members in charge of the design at the time had studied in Germany, so many elements of the German garden were added to the design of the park, while still retaining the Japanese style. This added a more unique flavour to the park, and not only that, but Hibiya Park also has more opportunities for pleasant musical performances than other parks. Hibiya Park's water spray plaza is one of the representative sights of Hibiya Park, where a light and playful water spray show is staged from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day, surrounded by flowers and skyscrapers.

Although it is not a famous park in the area, it is a place for residents to relax and enjoy their daily life. There is a large green area with the Zenfukuji River flowing through it, and there are also relics from the Jomon, Yayoi, and ancient tomb periods. In the past, Wada Hori Park was considered a famous place for cherry blossom viewing, but in recent years, many cherry trees have been cut down to prevent flooding, so the park has lost its elegance, but the local people still love it. There is a lake in Inokashira Park where you can go boating. The atmosphere of this park is also great, and it is considered an ideal park.

It is also probably a park frequented by travellers, as the Ghibli Museum of Art is located here. Inokashira Park is a popular spot for viewing cherry blossoms in the spring, and maples and ginkgoes in the fall, as it has a large variety of plants and a large hinterland. Many people come here for free picnics, sports, and fun.
