🗺️ Koyama Park戸山公園

Located in Shinjuku, Toyama Park is divided into two main sections. One part is the Hakone-yama area, centered around "Hakone-yama," the highest point along the Yamanote Line, while the other part is the Okubo area, separated by Meiji Avenue. Although Hakone-yama has an elevation of only 44.6 meters, it is the highest peak within the Yamanote Line. Climbing to the summit not only offers a view of the park's scenery but also a panoramic view of Shinjuku's skyscrapers. Additionally, many Somei Yoshino cherry trees are planted around Hakone-yama, making it a popular cherry blossom viewing spot when spring arrives, attracting large crowds. The surrounding Okubo area features the Shinjuku Sports Center and a lawn plaza, making it a great place for sports and leisure activities.

The highest artificial mountain within the Yamanote Line, "Hakone-yama," is renowned as a cherry blossom viewing spot. In the summer, it is a place where children from toddlers to preschoolers can enjoy playing in the water at the Hakone-yama park's wading pool. The nearby Anahachiman Shrine is the site of the Yabusame festival, which takes place every October.
