Diet Front Park

Diet Front Park sits before Japan's parliament building with open spaces, trees, and paved walkways that visitors can explore freely. The area provides a buffer between the city streets and the government complex itself.

The park was established around 1900 as a green space next to the parliament building and has served as a central meeting point in Tokyo since then. This early park design was part of the capital's urban modernization.

The grounds display seasonal changes with Japanese cherry blossoms in spring and red maple leaves during autumn, drawing people to walk through and enjoy the natural shifts.

Multiple subway stations including Kokkai-gijidō-mae and Nagatachō provide direct access to the park grounds. The terrain is flat and easy to navigate on foot, with plenty of benches for resting.

The grounds include a section without windows facing toward the Prime Minister's residence to ensure security and privacy. This detail is usually not obvious to visitors but reveals the security measures built into the space.
