Arisugawa Park

Prince Arisugawa Memorial Park is a park in Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo. It is one of Tokyo's most "enchanted" green spaces. Located just behind Hiroo Station, surrounded by foreign embassies. A tranquil retreat it can seem however, as much a jungle, but offers a natural variety into a piece of land the size of a city block.

Before this Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park was originally the urban villa of a feudal lord, Minonokami Nambu. In 1896 it was acquired by the noble Arisugawa-no-miya family. However, as Japan modernized, more and more importance began to be placed on the role of nature in educating children, and the family donated the land to Tokyo city in 1934 as a park for that purpose. The same year Arisugawa Park was born.
