FAQ

It’s not strict, but respectful clothing is recommended. Try to avoid overly revealing outfits to show consideration.
It’s perfect! The forest and wide open spaces are great for kids to walk and explore. It’s a very visual, calm tour with plenty of room to move around.
Yoyogi Park is famous for its rockabilly groups, but they usually gather on Sundays. During the rest of the week, the park has a more relaxed vibe, with people playing sports, walking, or picnicking. Every day feels a little different.
