About the Picture
It was nice to just seat on the bench and watch the fountain in Setagaya Municipal Setagaya Park in Tokyo, very relaxing and soothing, just to watch and listen to the water.
The park was established in 1953, and it offers scenic walking paths, playgrounds for kids, great skatepark and the iconic fountain, which was designed to embody the traditional Japanese water symbolism and modern art, blending old with the new.
In the summer, the fountain offers a refreshing focal point for visitors and in springtime, it’s a perfect, lesser-known spot for enjoying “hanami” (flower watching). Instead of going to widely popular Shinjuku Gyoen or Ueno Park, why not to enjoy cherry blossoms in Setagaya Municipal Park, when certainly you will meet less crowds.
When looking to spend a day with your kids, it’s a great place, where they can enjoy miniature steam locomotive that runs on a short track that’s in the park, a great addition for the kids and train enthusiasts. It’s also a place where your children can learn about traffic lights and practice riding on bicycles.
Simply, the park offers something for people of all ages and it’s covered with greenery.
Nearby, you can find Carrot Tower, where you can take an elevator to 26th floor, where you can enjoy a meal and you have a viewpoint, from where on a sunny clear day you can see Mt. Fuji, and it’s free!
For cat lovers, a bit further away you can find Gotokuji Temple, a must-visit spot for many and it’s quite popular. Famous for “maneki-neko” (the beckoning cat figurines), you can find thousands of them there!
For nature lovers, Todoroki Valley would be a great spot to visit, a hidden nature escape in Tokyo. This lush, peaceful gorge features a small river, stone paths, and bamboo groves, offering a break from the city’s usual urban vibe. It’s a perfect spot for a tranquil walk.
