Suzume-no-Oyado Green Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

This city-run green park still holds a bamboo grove, and takes its name from the many sparrows that once roosted in the bamboo thickets. Inside, an old farmhouse relocated from within Meguro City (目黒区) has been preserved, letting you glimpse old ways of life with an earthen floor and a sunken hearth. The air beneath the bamboo stays cool even in high summer, which makes it a welcome spot for lunch on a hot day. The little path threading between the bamboo is short, but walking it feels like being deep in a forest. Konabeno Park is within walking distance.

Tips

Check the ward's information for the farmhouse's opening hours and closed days. The bamboo path can be slippery after rain, so watch your footing. Rubbish must be taken home as a rule, so bring a bag. Avoid entering the water right after eating; resting for 20 to 30 minutes before changing is safer.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. The shade of the bamboo grove is bearable even at midday in high summer
