Time Out says

Get back to nature without straying too far from the nearest Starbucks with an outing to Yoyogi Park. This ever-popular spot in central Tokyo occupies the site of Japan's first successful powered aircraft flight, and later the athletes' village during the 1964 Olympics.

The north side is a lush sprawl of trees and greenery where city slickers can take a break from the crush or let their pets roam free at the dog run. The south side has an event plaza and open-air stage that hosts many of Tokyo’s larger festivals, including the annual Earth Day, Thai Festival and Brazil Festival.

The park is open 24 hours, and includes a parking lot. You'll find Meiji-Jingu Shrine, NHK and the National Gymnasium (Kokuritsu Yoyogi Kyogijo) nearby.

What’s on

Shibuya Ao no Dokutsu

Dubbed Ao no Dokutsu, meaning blue cavern, this breathtaking illumination was a huge hit when it made its debut along the Meguro River back in 2014. The now annual event made a comeback in Shibuya a couple of years ago, where it will again bathe the tree-lined walkway leading to Yoyogi Park in a fantastical blue glow this holiday season until Christmas Day. Stretched out for 900 metres along Koen-dori and Yoyogi Park's Keyaki event space, this fantastical illumination is made up of around 600,000 blue LEDs. The lights are also reflected off the ground to create an immersive experience. The illuminations take place daily between 5pm and 10pm.

Philippine Festival

Celebrate the food and culture of the Philippines at the biggest Filipino event in Japan. This annual festival always attracts a jovial crowd with its fun programme that includes a vibrant mix of music and dance performances (hosted in English and Tagalog). There will also be a variety of stalls offering the country’s iconic dishes and drinks such as adobo and San Miguel beer.
