Lonely Planet review for Yoyogi-Kōen

Sunday in Yoyogi-kōen used to be one of Tokyo's prime attractions, when local bands gathered to give free concerts on the park's pathways and kids in wild hair-dos and 1950s get-ups gathered to gyrate to recorded rock and roll. Sadly, the police have put a stop to this and now Yoyogi-kōen is just another park. That said, with lots of wide open spaces and some flowering trees, it's not a bad place for a picnic or playing some sport on the grass.

It's also worth a stop to view an early piece by architect Tange Kenzō, the National Gymnasium, which was built for the 1964 Olympics.
