About

From 1900 until 1978 this was the Forestry Experiment Station, where scientists planted trees from around Japan and the world. When the station moved, the land became a public park, and the result is a forest unlike any other in Tokyo: towering tulip trees, Himalayan cedars, giant redwoods, sycamores and camphor trees, with big lawns, a stream, rope-net playgrounds for kids and wildflower meadows. Birders, runners and families from Meguro and Shinagawa are devoted to it, yet you will almost never meet a foreign visitor.
