Geocache Description:


A vast expanse of trees and grass, Yoyogi Park (in Japanese, park is koen) lies between the Meiji Shrine grounds and the NHK Broadcasting Center.
During the occupation after the Second World War an American housing complex called Washington Heights stood here, and then Kenzo Tange's distinctive Yoyogi National Stadium was built for the 1964 Olympics. The stadium remains one of Tokyo's most impressive landmarks.
Foreign visitors once marveled at the exhibitionist Japanese rock-n-rollers here when the road through the park was closed off on Sundays, but that's been stopped.
Not a lot about the place is unusual; it's just a good place to get away from it all for a while and perhaps take a nap on the grass. A nice fountain with changing patterns punctuates the middle of the park, and there's a bicycle path for kids that features free rental up to junior high school age. Yoyogi Park is also a popular spot for jogging.
Early in the morning, you may encounter a practicing saxophonist or drummer. They can be sure the empty park, at least, won't tell them to keep quiet or move house.
