Tekigaisō Park

Tekigaisō Park, Historic urban park in Ogikubo, Japan

Tekigaisō Park is a historic urban park in Ogikubo featuring gardens and pathways arranged across the grounds. The site incorporates traditional Japanese landscape design alongside preserved structures from the pre-war era.

The grounds once housed the residence of a prominent Prime Minister during a crucial period in Japanese history. The site received official designation as a Historic Site of Japan in 2016.

The site's name reflects its past role as a gathering place for intellectual exchange. You can see today how the preserved spaces were designed to host conversations and meetings among influential figures.

The park is accessible on foot from Ogikubo Station, with pathways throughout the grounds that are easy to navigate. It's worth allowing time to wander through both the gardens and interior spaces at a relaxed pace.

The grounds served as a venue for private discussions that shaped Japan's direction during a decisive historical moment. This lesser-known side of history makes a visit here a chance to reflect on how power operated in quiet, intimate settings.
