Hibiya Park
Japanese original:
日比谷公園
A park of about 16 hectares between Kasumigaseki and Yurakucho, opened on June 1, 1903 as Japan's first Western-style park. The site held daimyo residences until the end of the Edo period and then served as an army parade ground; Honda Seiroku designed the park, adding Japanese elements to a Western plan. The stone walls of the Hibiya Mitsuke gate, built in the early Edo period, survive, and part of the old moat was kept as the Shinji Pond. The Crane Fountain has been the park's symbol since it opened.
