Daiba Park, Metropolitan park in Minato City, Japan
Daiba Park sits on waterfront grounds with stone walls between 5 and 7 meters tall and walking paths throughout. The space offers different areas for strolling and viewing the Tokyo Bay waterfront.
The site served as a military fort during the Edo period from 1603 to 1867, with ammunition stores and barracks. It became a public park in 1928 when it opened to visitors.
The park preserves elements of military architecture that now blend with modern recreational spaces, showing how Tokyo's former defense installations became public areas. Visitors walking through can see these historical structures integrated into the layout for daily use.
Reach the park by taking the Yurikamome Line to Odaiba-kaihinkoen Station, then walk about 10 minutes to the single main entrance at the front stairs. The grounds are open to walk freely and best visited in dry weather.
The park contains an Oshima-zakura cherry tree standing about 10 meters tall that received recognition from the Japan Tree Doctors Association for its condition. This ancient tree stands as a living connection to the site's past.
