Summertime brings out luscious green from the trees and bushes that fill Hibiya Park.

Look! It's the local Hibiya Park cat family.

For cat lovers, this park is a true haven! The cats seem to pop up from every bush and scrub.

Hydrangeas spectacularly bloom during tsuyu (rainy season).

Hiding in the bushes you'll find many felines.

Colorful flower beds are bountiful in the park.

Plenty of park benches and strolling space in Hibiya Park.

Hibiya Park is a lovely place for wandering and reflection. Take a stroll through the fields of green and you’ll be sure to spot a number of friendly stray cats, which call the western-style park their home.

Opened in 1903, Hibiya claims the title of oldest park among those in Japan constructed in a similar style.

The tulip and rose gardens offer pops of color in an otherwise wholly green landscape. Surrounded by many tall government buildings, the space injects a much-needed sense of nature and beauty into the area. All of the seasons' changes can be enjoyed in this expansive park.
