The park was designed and built by Dr. Shiroku Honda. It was the first &#8220;Western-style&#8221; park in Japan. Before the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1568-1600), the entire park area was a sea area called &#8220;Hibiya Inlet. Since the park was located just outside the Hibiya Gate of Edo Castle, it was used as the residence of prominent feudal lords such as Matsudaira Hizenmori during the Edo period and the end of the Edo period, and as an army training ground after the Meiji period. Today, the Hibiya Public Hall, Hibiya Park Concert Hall (Hibiya Noon), Hibiya Library and Cultural Center, and other facilities are located on the site, making it a place of relaxation and recreation for many people.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"js-way\"><span class=\"ja\"><span>Spot Outline<\/span><\/span><span class=\"en\">Outline<\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>address (e.g. of house)<\/th>\n<td>\nHibiya Park, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Access<\/th>\n<td>\nLocated near Kasumigaseki and Hibiya Subway Stations<\/p>\n<div class=\"elem-sec_01 mrg-style_21\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">phone<\/th>\n<td><a class=\"link-style_02\" href=\"tel:03-3821-6145\">03-3821-6145<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Business Hours<\/th>\n<td>\nalways open<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">regular closing day<\/th>\n<td>\nnashi (Pyrus pyrifolia, esp. var. culta)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">External Links<\/th>\n<td>\n<p><a class=\"link-style_03\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tokyo-park.or.jp\/park\/format\/index037.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Web Site<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Founding and opening of business<\/th>\n<td>\n1903 (36th year of Meiji era)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parks &#038; GardensMarunouchi\/Yaesu Hibiya Park\uff08Hibiya Park) cherry blossom viewingpicnicphoto spottaking one&#8217;s children along (to an event, into a new marriage, etc.)walk Hibiya Park was opened in 1903 amidst a strong desire for a modern park befitting the capital city of Tokyo.
