Masayoshi Ōhira Park, Japanese-inspired park in Coyoacán, Mexico City, Mexico.
Masayoshi Ōhira Park is an urban park in Coyoacán that combines walking paths, benches, and a lake with traditional Japanese architectural elements. The space features multiple garden areas and quiet spots for strolling.
The park was established in 1942 as Parque de la Pagoda and received its current name in 1980 following a visit by Japanese Prime Minister Masayoshi Ōhira. This renaming marked a stronger connection between the space and Japanese culture.
The space features Japanese design elements including torii gates and cherry trees planted by the Japanese-Mexican community. These details shape how the place looks and create a meeting point between two cultures.
The park is located near General Anaya metro station on Line 2, making it easy to reach by public transit. The paved paths are accessible and the grounds are well-lit.
The park served as a filming location for Mexican cinema in the 1950s near Churubusco Studios. This cinematic past is often overlooked today but holds interest for film enthusiasts and historians.
