Yoyogi Park 2009.9.6

Every time I visit Yoyogi Park, I find something new around people’s life and culture of Tokyo.


Some parts of the park are covered with pine and other trees. The air is fresh. I saw families enjoy cycling through the trees.

At the open space, people were spending their own times in the Sunday afternoon. The activities included: sleeping on the grass, reading books, rope jumping, badminton, the hoop, sword battles etc. The ratio of non-Japanese was extremely high here.

Not only young people but also middle-aged men and women were playing music and dancing. A middle-aged group in black costumes (off-mainstream style of the 1980s) attracted people.

The park always is messy and interesting.
