Rinshi-no-Mori Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

Originally the site of the national forestry experiment station, this land was opened as a metropolitan park and is full of large trees. Trees gathered from all over Japan and abroad have gone on growing here, so thick trunks and high canopies spread out in a way you would not expect in central Tokyo. The shade is deep, and the temperature inside the park clearly feels lower even in midsummer. There are lawns, a splash pond for water play and a playground area, so children can play before and after lunch. Fudo Park is within walking distance, so you can head over while the meal settles.

Tips

Rubbish must be taken home as a rule, so bring plenty of bags. The park is large, so decide which entrance to use before going in and you will not get lost. Avoid getting into the water right after eating; resting 20 to 30 minutes before changing is safer. It goes smoothly if you pick up a packed lunch around Meguro Station or Musashi-Koyama before entering.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Eating lunch in the deep shade leaves energy for the afternoon water play
