The Naoko Park is one of the oldest parks in Japan. The cherry blossoms in this park are very beautiful. It was morning when I went there. Many people were exercising here. There were also many recreational facilities. If you have nothing to do, you can come and visit.
The "Tokyo Christmas Market" was held at Hibiya Plaza last year, and this year it was moved to the area around Tokyo Tower. The venue has a strong European style and an unmistakable Christmas atmosphere. There are many stalls selling delicious soups, gourmet foods, and German food. Christmas cakes and more than 300 kinds of world-famous German Seiffen wooden dolls; in addition, the organizers also carefully organized candle and Snow Dome making experiences for everyone, allowing you to enjoy the experience under the Tokyo Tower Enjoy the lively and heartwarming Christmas celebration in Shiba Park!
Shiba Park, which you pass by on the way to Zojoji Temple, is a particularly quiet city park. It is a great place to admire Tokyo Tower, and it is also a good place to enjoy cherry blossoms and maple leaves. There are several large weeping cherry trees in it.
We stayed at the Prince Garden Hotel, which is located on the high ground of the park area. The cherry trees around the park have a sense of history, and there are endless people admiring and seeing the flowers. In addition, there is a rose garden on the lawn behind the stairs. The roses are beautifully trimmed. Although it is not in bloom, you can tell from the color and shape of the leaves that there are many varieties of roses. More importantly, many roses are decades or even over a hundred years old. Their beauty comes from the refinement of time. Whether it is cherry blossoms, roses or beautiful street trees, they all witness the continuous accumulation, development and beautification of this city and country over the years.
Although I have never climbed or attempted to climb Tokyo Tower in so many visits to Japan, Zojoji Temple and Shiba Park next to the tower have always been my favorite places to walk. The empty square, few passers-by, only the tents and lanterns set up in advance for the first day of the festival two days later indicate that this place is not ordinary.
Shiba Park is located in the alley below the Tokyo Tower. It is a newly built park, but it is very large. You can walk there directly after seeing the Tokyo Tower. It is very beautiful to see the Tokyo Tower from Shiba Park. Shiba Park is not particularly famous in Tokyo, but its autumn is the first time that makes me realize that Tokyo's autumn is also the most beautiful. Many people go to Tokyo in March and April to see cherry blossoms, but they don't know that many parks are also very beautiful in autumn. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Shiba Park in March, and the cherry blossoms in it were planted in recent years, so they are very orderly, well planned, and there are many varieties. Most cherry blossom sites are dominated by one color, and the most common ones are pink, while Shiba Park has three colors of cherry blossoms, white, pink and red, which are very beautiful.
Shiba Park has a beautiful environment and is shaded by trees, making it a great place for a leisurely walk. There are also some special sculptures and landscapes that add to the artistic atmosphere of the park.
