Toyama Park, Metropolitan park in Shinjuku, Japan.
Toyama Park is a green space in Tokyo divided by Meiji Street into two main sections. One side features Hakone Mountain while the other offers recreational areas with walking paths and open spaces.
The land was once a private feudal garden for the Tokugawa Owari family before becoming public space in the 20th century. This transformation allowed the location to preserve its historical past while opening to broader access.
A memorial on the grounds honors a former military institution that once operated here. Visitors can walk quietly through this reflective space today.
The park is easily reached from several train stations including JR Shin-Okubo and Tokyo Metro Nishi-Waseda. The pathways are comfortable for walking and the space welcomes visitors throughout the day.
Hakone Mountain within the park reaches 44.6 meters and holds the distinction of being the highest natural point in the entire Yamanote Line circuit. This modest peak often goes unnoticed by visitors unaware they are standing on a local landmark.
