Is Central Park in Tokyo worth a visit in 2026?
The zoo side entrance near the pond is the quiet way in and you skip the main gate crowds. Go before 9am on a Sunday and the whole path by the shrine is basically yours.
Shrine path gets muddy after rain, bring decent shoes.
Yup. Those stone slabs by the torii get slick too
Gate by the swan boats still locks at 4:30.
That entrance is also closest to the Benzaiten snack stalls, which don't open until around 10.
Zoo entrance also puts you right by the penguin sign, easiest landmark for meeting friends.
Inokashira-dori entrance, way less foot traffic.
Agreed, though that approach dumps you onto the gravel path by the swan boats, so wear shoes you don't mind dusting off.
Boat pond reopened in April, boats running again.
Good to know, last I checked they were still dredging it so I stopped bothering to walk over.
