Inokashira Park

Warum der Umweg sich lohnt

A pond park in Kichijoji with swan boats, a Benzaiten shrine and a legend that couples who row together break up.

500 m
Ghibli Museum
Hayao Miyazaki's museum in Inokashira Park with a rooftop robot soldier, a Catbus for children and a short film shown nowhere else.
650 m
Harmonica Alley
These cramped covered lanes began with the informal station-front market that appeared after Japan's defeat in 1945. The tiny shops were later nicknamed for their resemblance to the closely spaced holes of a harmonica, and the surviving maze remains a remarkably intact descendant of Tokyo's postwar black-market city.
5.8 km
Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum
Tokyo buildings that could not survive at their original addresses were dismantled and reassembled here instead of being lost to fires, earthquakes, war, and redevelopment. Its reconstructed streets place a bathhouse, bar, stationery shop, police box, homes, and workshops together like refugees from several erased versions of the city.
8.4 km
Nakano Broadway
A 1966 shopping complex that became the collectors' mecca: Mandarake floors of manga, figures, watches and vintage toys.
8.7 km
Gotokuji Temple
Thousands of white cat figurines recall the legend of a beckoning cat that saved a feudal lord and inspired the maneki-neko tradition.
10 km
Shimokitazawa
A low-rise maze of vintage shops, small theatres and live houses two stops from Shibuya — Tokyo's indie quarter.
