Tokyo Healing Spot, Definitely Yoyogi Park

Yoyogi, a forest hidden in the heart of Tokyo Everything moves fast in Tokyo. The traffic lights change, people’s footsteps, the subway, and even the mind. But strangely, the moment you step into Yoyogi Park, time seems to slow down just a little. The lake is silent, and the trees cast only shadows. Sunlight gently passes through the branches, and the wind quietly smiles as it touches the leaves. As you walk through it, it feels like the city of Tokyo forgets about me for a moment. I’m not just a visitor of the city, but I even feel like I’ve become a part of this forest. 🌿 Green to the eyes, rest to the heart Standing among the lush trees, the fatigue deep inside my body slowly melts away. Some call this park an ‘oasis in the city,’ while others just say it’s a ‘walking course,’ but to me, more than any words, it was a ‘place where the heart lies down for a moment.’ The photo shows the trees, but what’s really captured is how quiet I became under those trees. The direction of the sunlight rising over the calm lake, the moment walking along the shadows, and the warmth of the bench where I sat silently for a long time. 🍃 It wasn’t walking, it was staying Yoyogi Park can’t be described simply as ‘big.’ It’s not about the size of the space, but the width of the margin that lets the heart rest. Even within Tokyo’s vast landscape, this small forest existed very clearly. That I could stay there even for a moment was the most grateful moment of this trip today. Moments when I did nothing while walking but accepted everything. At Yoyogi, I was healed without moving. #TokyoYoyogi 📸 Green trees, a quiet lake, and unforgettable tranquility. The quietest time in Tokyo was not a conversation with someone, but eye contact with the trees.
