Inokashira Park is located in Musashino City, Tokyo. It is a famous maple viewing spot in Tokyo, especially from mid-November to early December every year, when the maple leaves in the park are at their best viewing period. There are more than 90 species of maple trees here, mainly Japanese red maples. The colorful red leaves and golden leaves are intertwined to form a beautiful natural picture. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll in the park, admire the maple trees on both sides of the trail, and feel the breath of autumn. The park's Inokashira Pond is a great place to enjoy the maple leaves. The colorful shadows of the trees are reflected on the lake, creating a picturesque scene.

During the Edo period, this park was used by the Tokugawa Shogunate for falconry. In the Meiji era, water from the pond in the center of the garden was used for the first time as the "Kanda Josui" water channel for the streets of Edo. From then on, the water in the pond was actually used as drinking water until the improved waterway was completed in 1898. This pond is now known as the Inokashira Pond. #井のカド恩仕公園 There is a statue called "Benzaiten" on the west side of the pond. It stands on a floating island in the pond and has a small bridge. The bright red color of the shrine's main hall contrasts sharply with the surrounding green, making it very ornamental. #100 Ways to Travel

Kichijoji is a good place to cool off in the summer #井之头恩事公园. Usually when you go to the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, you will definitely stop by Inokashira Park to enjoy this quiet and green ecological park in the bustling city. Especially when you visit during the cherry blossom season or maple leaf season, strolling by the pond is a great place to enjoy flowers. When people mention Inokashira Park, they usually think of it as a big park with swan boats (Ueno Park seems to have this feature as well?). It covers an area of ​​95 acres and is shaped like an inverted V. It consists of Inokashira Pond, Gotenyama, West Garden, and the Second Park. It includes three paid attractions: the Zoo, the Aquatic Garden, and the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka. It is a bit similar to the concept of an urban forest. Compared with other parks, Inokashira pays more attention to ecology. There are many varieties of trees and flowers, and flowers can be appreciated in all four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Due to the large pond and dense forests, bird watching in the pond is also a highlight. From time to time, you can see a group of people bringing cannons to take pictures. If it is not the flower season, it might be a bit boring to just come to Inokashira Park. You should go to the Ghibli Museum or the downtown area of ​​Kichijoji. Whether it is the bustling Harmonica Yokocho shopping street or strolling through the alleys to explore shops, you can find some nice specialty shops. #日本探店 #东京景点 #Inokashira公園 #吉吉寺 #Mitakaの森ジブリ博物馆

About half an hour train ride from Shinjuku, Tokyo Japan. We took a visit to Kichijōji, a more neighbourly area within Tokyo. In the area is a beautiful park that would take you away from the city like area. The path goes around their large lake, there are multiple bridges within which you can take a nice walk around. Take a walk around their national park with a swan deck or to their Aquatic Life House with regional reptiles. We sat next to the lake after grabbing a nice cold bottle of tea from their vending machines. Listened to nature for a while. Then we went to their temple inside of the park named Inokashira Benzaiten; it is an iconic shrine within the park where you bless for money. The interesting part is to take out our money, put it into a basket and wash it in their shrine water. If you’ve got the time, you can walk a little further to visit the park zoo and the Ghibli Museum.

🍀 This is Inokashira Park, located in Kichijoji, a hip neighborhood in Tokyo. It has a different feel and atmosphere from Shinjuku Park and Ueno Park, and you can see locals visiting the park with their families. I think this is why it creates a more peaceful and calming landscape. 💁 The Japanese-style pavilions and houses here and there give it a quiet feel. As you walk around the park, you can also see a monument that is said to be the background for the Totoro movie. If you ever visit Kichijoji, I recommend you stop by Inokashira Park at least once~!!

Next is the shopping itinerary. Kichijoji is a place where many Japanese girls go shopping. It is a long shopping street with a canopy, so you won’t get wet all the way. There are many drugstores, clothing, cafes, restaurants, and specialty stores to choose from. If you want to go shopping but are afraid of getting wet, Kichijoji is the right place 🛍️ #Tokyo #Japan #Kichijoji

I went to the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka! I made a reservation about a month in advance and visited the museum! It's very popular and you can't get in without a reservation, so please make a reservation in advance on the website🙆 It's a museum in Inokashira Park, and inside you can see the production process of Ghibli works, the difficulties of making movie animations, and the passion of the creators! The realistic production room with attention to detail is a must-see! There was humor here and there, and it was fun☺️ Unlike today, I was impressed by how amazing the creators were in the days when animations were drawn by hand... I'm also a designer, so I'm grateful for my current environment and I feel like I'll keep working hard!✨ You can't take photos inside, but you can take photos of the exhibits outside!

Mitaka is nearly half an hour's drive from the center of Tokyo. Since the museum tickets have specific dates and time periods, you need to ask someone to book them in advance on the Lawson website, and then pick up the tickets at the Loppi machine in the convenience store. Photography is allowed in the outdoor area of ​​the museum, but not inside. The art gallery on the third floor is worth a leisurely stroll, and I also watched a 10-minute short film in the mini cinema. We stayed there for about 2 hours before leaving and walked to Inokashira Park, which had a very peaceful atmosphere. We had dinner at Parco Sushiro in Kichijoji in the evening. Due to an incident, all sushi had to be delivered after orders were placed. Very satisfying touring attractions. #Mitaka Forest Ghibli Museum #Kichijoji

A zoo in the middle of Tokyo! This is a zoo in Inokashira Park that also has boats and a sea zoo.
