Komazawa Olympic Park

Flow of the course

About this spot

One of the largest parks in Tokyo, laid out as a venue for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The Olympic Memorial Tower stands in the Central Plaza where the stadium and the gymnasium are lined up, and a park path runs all the way around it. The jogging course and the cycling course are kept separate, which is reassuring when you are walking with a child. The children's park and the lawn plaza are spacious too, making this just the right place to open a bento after running about. Meguro Kumin Campus Park is a short trip away by bicycle or bus, and is also within walking distance.

Tips

The grounds are very large, so decide which gate to enter from beforehand and you will not get lost. The cycling course has bicycle rental and suits children who are practising, but check the hours of use and the fees on the signage on site. There are shops and vending machines, but in high summer it is safer to carry in plenty to drink. Rubbish is taken home as a rule.

Best time to visit

About 2 hours 30 minutes. It is comfortable to move about during the morning and then have lunch in the shade
