MK Guide Recommends
Meijō Park is one of Nagoya’s most cherished green areas— a scenic stretch just north of Nagoya Castle that encourages visitors to slow down and enjoy the natural flow of the seasons. Wide walking paths wind through cherry blossom groves in spring and vibrant maples in autumn, while cyclists, joggers, and families take advantage of the fresh air all year round. The central pond, bordered by willow trees and arched bridges, provides picture-perfect views of the castle’s turreted rooftops peeking above the trees. Quiet gardens, playgrounds, and open lawns create a flexible space for solo walks or group picnics. Despite its central location, Meijō Park feels like a peaceful escape— a simple retreat from city noise into a more serene, nature-focused setting.
