Haru-no-Ogawa Community Park

directions_walkAbout this spot

A park in Shibuya Ward within walking distance of Yoyogi-Hachiman Station. Its name comes from the Kohonegawa River, which once flowed through this area and is said to be the setting of the children's song "Haru no Ogawa" (Spring Brook). The river now runs underground in a culvert, but the park has flower beds and an open plaza, cultivated over the years with the hands of local residents. It makes a landmark for a walk tracing the memory of the water.
