Hinoki-chō Park
Minato-ku, Tokyo
Together with the next-door Midtown Garden, the Hinoki-chō park (16,370 square meters large), run by the municipality of Minato-ku, comprises some 40% of the total area of the Tokyo Midtown complex. The site used to be a part of the secondary residence of the feudal lord, the Mōri family of the Chōshū Domain in western Japan and was full of hinoki trees (ヒノキ Japanese cypress). Hence the name, Hinoki-chō or Hinoki town. At the time of construction of Tokyo Midtown in 2007, the place was redeveloped as a landscaped garden with a Japanese teahouse, a wisteria-entwined trellis, a pond and streams. Close to Roppingi but away from its bustle, the park offers a relaxing space, full of cosmopolitan families and picnickers on sunny days.
