The park has a pond called Shinji-ike in the shape of the Chinese
character for "heart".
Japanese “kokoro” means “heart”
The parkland used to be the palace area of the feudal load,
Matsudaira Bizennokami,up until the end of the Edo period. Then it
served as a military drilling ground during the early part of the
Meiji period. Later this park was designed and constructed as the
first westernized urban-style park in Japan, and opened to the
public in 1903.
Two outdoor music halls and the Hibiya public hall show enthusiasm
of the park designer as a forerunner of culture. Now we can enjoy
beautiful flowers all the year around in the center of Marunouchi,
one of the hottest business town in Japan.
