Showa Kinen Park is now open again and this outdoor yoga will be held again from July one.
Wouldn’t it be nice to do yoga outdoor? It’s possible at Showa Kinen Park! They hold Park Yoga which is outdoor yoga happening once a month between April and November except for August. If you know what the weather is like in August which is in the middle of summer in Japan, you would understand why they are skipping August. 😉
By the way, if you have never been to Showa Kinen Park, I recommend you going there. Showa Kinen Park is a park in the city of Tachikawa, just 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo. It’s a huge park and tons of events going on throughout the year!! Here are my other blog articles about what’s happening at Showa Kinen Park, if you are interested. They are work in progress because I haven’t even experienced all of them myself yet!

March one is special because it is Sakura Park Yoga. It would be so beautiful doing yoga surrounded by cherry blossom trees. I will definitely sign up for April Sakura Park Yoga.
Where
Park Yoga is held at Cherry Blossom Garden which is located north of Minna no Harappa (みんなの原っぱ：みんなのはらっぱ) in Showa Kinen Park. Here is the map.
If you sign up for it, make sure to give yourself plenty of time to go there. Because it’s a huge park, Cherry Blossom Garden is quite far from any gate of the park.
Fee
500 yen (park admission fee is not included)
It is not mentioned anything about paying the fee in advance. Therefore, I assume you will have to pay 500 yen in cash when you go there.
Capacity
Up to 60 people can participate. Since, it’s first come first served basis, sign up early before the seats run out!
How to sign up
You need to call this number to sign up in advance.
Phone: 042-528-1867
I called the number myself to sign up. It basically connects to Showa Kinen Park so you will have to speak in Japanese. Here is the information you will need to provide.

Yoga mat will be provided so you don’t have to bring your own. Nevertheless, they told me to bring the following.
- Drinking water
- Towel
