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!

Anyway, getting back to my main topic… outdoor yoga. So here is the detail information about Park Yoga at Showa Kinen Park.
Page Contents
Each yoga session will be for an hour from 10:30AM to 11:30AM. It’s held on first Tuesday of each month between April and November except for August. Here is the list of 8 dates scheduled this year.
Check-in starts 15 minutes before the session start.
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.
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.
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.
Up to 60 people can participate. Since, it’s first come first served basis, sign up early before the seats run out!
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.
If you would like my assistant to make reservation, I would be more than happy to help you out. Just drop me an email to omoidehouse@gmail.com or leave me a comment below.
Yoga mat will be provided so you don’t have to bring your own. Nevertheless, they told me to bring the following.
Here is the official web page. Unfortunately, the page is only in Japanese.
If you have any question, please feel free to leave me a comment below. I will be happy to assist you!
