What travellers are saying
- Clemence KngSingapore, Singapore2 contributionsNice place not very crowded. Will recommend to those with a bit more time in tokyo. Easy to get to via the metro.Written 10 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- MickBangkok, Thailand131 contributionsRight next to Konagome station. Entrance fee is 300 Yen and the park is a nice stroll.
Some nice Autumn foliage but not overly spectacular.
Good spot for a stroll away from the hustle and bustle.Written 16 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Joanne HLondon, UK606 contributionsKoishikawa Korakuen is a beautiful, peaceful spot - I thoroughly enjoyed wandering and sitting there, even in August when there's little colour or flowers. It would be magical in autumn. Lots of mosquitoes though ...Written 17 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- woog57San Francisco, CA6 contributionsWent to the A's-Mariners game in March. Ended up being Ichiro's final MLB game. The stadium was nice enough but it felt a bit muggy. I had heard that there is no air conditioning in the dome. The food selection was kind of blah. Enjoyed that wine, beer and high balls were sold by vendors in the stands.Written 19 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- JulianaYosJakarta, Indonesia31 contributionsUniversity of Tokyo is a big university, it has a very big land with big trees everywhere. So calm, quite, and also relaxing. And it where I found the reunited statue of hachiko and Prof Ueno.Written 13 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- John SPoquoson, VA267 contributionsVery stunning architectural cathedral with some interesting relics from the magi (Cologne Cathedral is its partner), John Paul II and St. Faustina. Very goad we went to see it.Written 18 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- JensTetzBerlin, Germany335 contributionsThis hotel owns a beautiful small garden behind the hotel building. You may visit it even when not staying in the hotel. It's free of charge and you can enter it through the hotel lobby. Around a pond there are some paths to walk around and you can walk up to a pagoda on a small hill. It's a peaceful place in the busy neighbourhood. In the past years from late autumn up to December the garden was beautifully illuminated – that's even more atmospheric. If you are in the area of Hotel Chinzanso, then don't miss to visit St. Mary's Cathedral, a very interesting modern church built by architect Kenzo Tange.Written 7 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- AndreaUbokFlorida2,702 contributionsWe were walking from the national museums to the Japan Rail Station and passed by this beautiful temple from 456 in a serene beautiful garden.Written 22 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Guillaume AShizuoka, Japan480 contributionsAmusement in the heart of the city. The park is free, you just need to pay if you want to ride. Many restaurants and shops around. The design of the Ferris wheel is pretty unique.Written 3 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- The Eating AshmanTokyo, Japan247 contributionsPretty cool shopping area in Bunkyo-ku. Lots of restaurants (including Bubba Gump Shrimp) and shopping. The roller coaster is also pretty cool as its cuts through some of the shopping building. A few other rides there as well and right next to Tokyo Dome!Written 20 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Dr. ShibuyakkoTokyo and California34,726 contributionsThere is a good cafe/dining in the Civic Center for the public workers but anybody's welcome to get in for a cheap and decent lunch. There is a fee observatory, too.Written 31 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ばろんKFujisawa, Japan30 contributionsToyo Bunko is not so popular but very valuable, well maintained and active museum in Tokyo.
The most important collection of this museum is the Morrison Collection which was painstakingly amassed by George Ernest Morrison during his 20-year residency in Beijing. Contains approximately 24,000 volumes in Western languages dealing with China and its neighbors and includes about 1,000map/lithograph titles, about 7,200 pamphlets , and over 120 periodicals. Of particular value are 54 editions of Marco Polo's Description of the World including a copy of the first Latin printing in 1485. (sited from the web) From January 30 – March 19, 2019, the special exhibition “Wisdom of India.” is in session.Written 21 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - RayParksAdelaide, Australia2,744 contributionsIt’s a spacious and peaceful temple precinct, not too far from Ikebukuro. As I used to work near the temple many years ago, I was so glad to visit the temple during my stay in Tokyo.Written 8 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
