It is a fantastic green space near the Shinjuku skyscrapers in Nishi-Shinjuku, and is a familiar park to office workers in the area. Many dramas have been filmed here, so even those who have never been to this park may have seen it at least once.

The park has a grass plaza and a playground for children, and it is a rare place in the Shinjuku area where small children can play together.

The park’s symbolic “Shinjuku Niagara Falls” has appeared in TV dramas and animated special effects films, and is lit up during the year-end and New Year holidays, making it a good place to stroll while remembering those scenes.
