Yoyogi Park 代々木公園

#tokyospots
Forget Shinjuku crossing; the best place for people-watching is right here, especially near the Harajuku entrance on a Sunday afternoon. Yoyogi Park is a genuine magnet for Tokyo's eccentric, creative, and utterly captivating subcultures. You never know what you're going to get: one week it’s the famous rockabilly greasers showing off their moves, the next it’s a group performing a spontaneous stage play, or maybe an amateur orchestra tuning up. It’s a dynamic, free-form, cultural exhibition, all set against a backdrop of beautiful nature. While the nature itself is lovely, the human element is what makes this park iconic. Just finding a bench and observing the different social groups coexist, celebrating their hobbies and passions in such an open space, is a pure delight. It’s a vibrant, unscripted show that captures the wonderfully diverse spirit of modern Tokyo.
