If you're in Kamiyacho, you're probably thinking of the iconic Tokyo Tower or Atago Shrine, which has the "Stairway to Success."
The Shiba Kyusho Park that I'm introducing this time is on the way from Kamiyacho Station to Tokyo Tower.
To get to Shiba Kyusho Park, take Exit 3 of Kamiyacho Station, go to the Shibagakuen-shita intersection, and then go up the slope from the intersection towards the Netherlands Embassy.
Then, you'll see the entrance to Shiba Kyusho Park next to the embassy!
Shiba Kyusho Park is located inside the management office building, on the upper floor accessible by elevator.
Alternatively, if you're coming from the Tokyo Tower side, you can reach it by going up a long slope.
It's a park that utilizes the upper part of the water supply station, you know?
The opening hours of Shiba Kyusho Park are from 10:00 to 18:00.
Although the official website states 19:00, as of March 2019, it's open until 18:00. Please note that this may change.
And when you go up the elevator, the view is amazing!
You can see Tokyo Tower up close ♪ It's truly an oasis in the heart of the city.
It's a hidden spot that's recommended for sightseeing in Tokyo ♪
And there were benches for two people and abdominal exercise benches!
The back is a beautiful artificial turf soccer field, and it's quite impressive. (さすが港区っ！ As you'd expect from Minato-ku!)
Many children were sweating it out in soccer classes and so on.
Wow~ to be able to do abdominal exercises while looking at the Tokyo Tower!!
I think it's a resting space that fitness enthusiasts would want to visit at least once (lol)
There's a pergola and benches in the middle of the park.
It's a secret spot where you can see the Tokyo Tower! ... I'd like to say, but on weekends, it's crowded with children and families from the soccer field.
It might be empty on weekdays. (If anyone has visited on a weekday, please let me know.)
When you walk towards Iikura, there is a resting space with a fence set up in an arc.
This is an area without playground equipment, so it's an environment where you can rest quietly.
It becomes a bench with plants along the fence.
Thanks to the green wall, it provides shade and I think you can rest coolly.
Oh, by the way, eating and drinking is prohibited in Shiba Kyusho Park... a little disappointing (sweat)
Even though it's in the heart of the city, it functions as an oasis.
As playground equipment, there are two swings, spring-loaded toys, and also exercise equipment such as pull-up bars and parallel bars.
It's perfect for a break for those with children and families, and it's also recommended for a break during a walk to Tokyo Tower!
So, how about using it as a resting place with seats around Kamiyacho Station?
