Tokyo is generally considered to be the most developed city in the world, a megalopolis of high rises, bright lights, innovative tech, and nearly 14 million people who keep the city buzzing at all hours. It’s well known that Mount Fuji, Japan’s tallest mountain, is visible from the Japanese capital, which is also just a day trip away from Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park. But there are plenty of open spaces located within city bounds, many of which host iconic Japanese cultural festivals and cherry-blossom-viewing venues throughout the year. From sprawling parks to beautifully manicured gardens, these parks in Tokyo provide a breath of fresh air in one of the world’s busiest cities.
