大倉山

Okurayama Park spreads across three sections with walking trails, sports facilities, a library, and a cultural center set among green spaces. The different zones combine nature with public amenities in one location.

The park began as a private villa donated by industrial magnate Kihachiro Okura in 1910, marking the start of its transformation into a public space. This gift laid the foundation for its current role as a civic hub.

The park holds the Furusato Forest, where 35 regional associations have designed separate garden spaces that showcase plants and monuments from their home areas. Visitors can experience Japan's variety in these distinct garden rooms.

The park is free to enter and contains a baseball field, central library, cultural hall, and gymnasium, all reachable from Okurayama subway station. The different facilities are spread out and easy to explore on foot.

Stone sculptures and monuments dot the landscape throughout the park, including the preserved base of a historic statue of Hirobumi Ito. These artistic works shape the scenery and tell stories from the past.
