Hibiya Park in Autumn
Josef DiermairHibiya park in Tokyo covers an area of 161,636.66m2 between the east gardens of the Imperial Palace to the north, and the Shimbashi district to the south-east.
This large green space just outside the walls of the Imperial Palace is the oldest western-style park in Japan. Opened to the public in 1903, the park sits on the grounds of former daimyo (feudal lord) estates. Today, the park is known for its seasonal flower displays and quiet walking paths, making it a relaxing escape in a bustling business district.
The nearly 40-acre park is home to several historic sites. At the north end of the park, the stone walls of the old Edo Castle moat and one of the fortification’s guardhouses stand hidden amongst the greenery. Nearby, a decorative horse fountain hearkens back to a time before the automobile rolled down Tokyo’s streets. On the southern end of the park, the blocky Gothic-style Shisei Kaikan served as the Japan State News Agency during World War II.
The large fountain in the center of the grounds is one of the park’s most popular features and is often illuminated in the evening. Nearby is a traditional Japanese garden, known for its autumn foliage displays and a fountain in its pond in the shape of a crane (the national symbol of Japan). Just beyond that, an open-air concert venue makes for a popular summertime destination. In the northwestern corner lie some of the most coveted tennis courts in the city. Reservations are nearly impossible to come by.
Hibiya Park is also home to some of the first Western-style gardens in Japan and still remains a popular destination for seasonal flower displays. November sees around 2000 chrysanthemums on display, a tradition that began over a century ago. There are also large tulip and rose gardens and a morning glory market in early July.
While Hibiya Park is graced with many leafy trees, one, in particular, has long attracted attention. Known as the “risky ginkgo”, this 400-500-year-old tree was due to be cut down to make way for a road-widening project in 1901. The park designer, Seiroku Honda, resisted, and under his guidance, the ginkgo was instead uprooted and moved a half kilometer further into the park. Remarkably, the tree survived.
Hibiya Park hosts a number of festivals on its grounds throughout the year, from a summer Bon festival to the Fishermen’s Festival in November.

If you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, there's one Tokyo restaurant that absolutely deserves a spot on your bucket list. While you may not know it by its real name, chances are you've seen it on screen—it’s the unforgettable setting for the iconic, over-the-top showdown between The Bride and the Crazy 88. Known affectionately by fans as “The Kill Bill Restaurant,” this venue offers more than just cinematic nostalgia—it's a vibrant and unique dining experience in its own right. Located in Tokyo’s upscale Nishi-Azabu district, this classic-style izakaya bar is where fiction meets flavor. Though the fake blood and samurai swords have long been cleaned away, the spirit of the film lives on in the architecture and atmosphere. Stepping inside feels like walking onto the set: a grand, high-ceilinged hall with a central open-plan dining space, surrounded by a mezzanine-level balcony—instantly recognizable to anyone who’s watched the movie. But don’t mistake it for just a movie-themed attraction. The Kill Bill restaurant is a serious culinary destination. It offers a wide variety of traditional Japanese dishes, from sashimi and grilled skewers to noodle dishes and seasonal specialties. The menu also boasts creative fusion items like avocado and camembert tempura, which nods to the restaurant’s global popularity and mindset. And for international travelers with specific dietary needs, the restaurant provides vegan and halal-friendly menus (with at least three days’ notice). What makes this spot truly special is its ability to deliver a top-tier gourmet experience while doubling as a pop culture pilgrimage. You can sip sake where Uma Thurman once sliced through waves of enemies—minus the chaos, of course. Whether you’re a die-hard Tarantino fan, a foodie on the hunt for authentic Japanese flavors, or simply someone looking for a unique night out in Tokyo, this restaurant checks every box. Just one tip: Enjoy the drinks and dishes, but leave the swordplay to the professionals. Note: As you’d expect, Gonpachi is a popular restaurant. Same-day reservations are possible, but ideally you’ll want to reserve your table at least two days ahead of your visit, and even earlier if you’re planning to visit at the weekend.
