Time Out says

Get back to nature without straying too far from the nearest Starbucks with an outing to Yoyogi Park. This ever-popular spot in central Tokyo occupies the site of Japan's first successful powered aircraft flight, and later the athletes' village during the 1964 Olympics.

The north side is a lush sprawl of trees and greenery where city slickers can take a break from the crush or let their pets roam free at the dog run. The south side has an event plaza and open-air stage that hosts many of Tokyo’s larger festivals, including the annual Earth Day, Thai Festival and Brazil Festival.

The park is open 24 hours, and includes a parking lot. You'll find Meiji-Jingu Shrine, NHK and the National Gymnasium (Kokuritsu Yoyogi Kyogijo) nearby.

What’s on

Thai Festival

  • Festivals

One of the largest of Yoyogi Park's many cultural celebrations, the Thai Festival often benefits from lovely springtime weather. So join the crowds and fill up on Thai delicacies like pad thai, green curry and gapao rice from a selection of Tokyo's Thai restaurants like Jasmine Thai and Krung Siam. Away from the food, there are plenty of stalls to browse, where you’ll find everything from handicrafts to bottles of Singha. There's live entertainment, too, in the form of performances like traditional dancing, Thai rock, martial arts demonstrations, and even a fashion show. Both days have packed schedules and you can check the timetable on the website.
