Himonya Park, Urban park in Meguro-ku, Japan
Himonya Park is an urban green space in Meguro-ku organized around a large central pond with various recreational facilities. The grounds include tennis courts, a baseball field, walking trails, and children's play areas distributed throughout the property.
The site began as farmland with irrigation systems centered on a water feature known as Mitani Pond. In 1933, this agricultural area was converted into a public park open to the community.
The park features a space where children can interact directly with ponies, rabbits, and dogs in a hands-on setting. This hands-on approach to nature reflects how the space was designed to connect young visitors with animals.
The park sits approximately 6 minutes on foot from Gakugei-daigaku Station, making it readily accessible by public transport. Visitors can follow clearly marked pathways to navigate between the different activity zones and facilities throughout the grounds.
The central pond functions as a water source feeding into the Tachiai River, serving an important role in the local water system. Visitors can take boat rides on this same water feature while observing its practical function beyond recreation.
