Yoyogi Park (代々木公園) is a popular park located in central Tokyo, which is accessible from several touristy areas in the city such as Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku.

Yoyogi Park is a popular spot for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves viewing, but other than that, the park draws a large number of visitors as the venue for special event.

Numbers of events and festivals are held at Yoyogi Park through the year, almost every weekends during spring and summer. Those events feature special themes, music, performances, markets and food with festive atmospheres, and usually they are free entrance.
