Wildlife near Nature Park Tokyo 2026: what actually shows up?
honestly the tanuki on the north loop past the pond are bold now and the itachi mostly clear out the mice near the bamboo grove by 6am
yeah the itachi are out early but its the kiji-bato and karasu taking over the food scraps thats teh real change
The north loop tanuki are denning under the fenced shed by the west gate now, which is why they don't scatter when you pass.
That shed's been padlocked since April so they've shifted to the drainage culvert behind the west gate toilets.
fair point on the culvert. i've been seeing scat along teh top of it most mornings now, more than a couple piles. think theyre using it as a latrine not a den tbh
saw a whole family on the east path last week
Which stretch though, near the pond outlet or further along? I've only been getting singles past the second bridge lately, so a family group is a good sign. Cubs too, or just adults?
past the second bridge too, two cubs last tuesday
Those bold ones past the pond are likely after the fallen persimmons by the second bench, they strip that tree before most people are out. For itachi, check the leaf litter along the fence line after rain, that's where the mice get flushed. Numbers feel steady to me, not worse.
more like 5:30 once the dog walkers clear out
Best single origin pour over near Roastery No. 7 in 2026?
The Ethiopia's usually still on hand pour when I've been in, but it rotates fast so check the board before you queue. If it's gone, Koffee Mameya in Omotesando does a bright Kenyan filter worth the trip.
yeah the board is the thing to watch, and if it's wiped out, Glitch in Jimbocho pulls a solid fruity filter without the chain crowd
Fair point, though I'd add that Mameya's queue moves quicker right at 10am opening before the Omotesando shoppers arrive.
Try Fuglen Tomigaya for a bright natural. Go weekday mornings.
