By sozoro walk

Join this scenic walking tour from Sangubashi to Yoyogi Hachiman in Tokyo. The journey starts with a visit to Yoyogi Pony Park (代々木ポニー公園), an unexpected green retreat where visitors can see ponies for free, despite being so close to the busy districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya. The area around Sangubashi Bridge (参宮橋) is notable for its many slopes and unique topography, making the walk both visually interesting and slightly challenging.

The tour passes through several key landmarks, including Sangubashi Station (参宮橋駅), which serves as a central point for this neighborhood. Along the way, there's a stop at a three-way intersection famously shown in the anime film '5 Centimeters Per Second' (秒速5センチメートル). Moving forward, the walk leads to Sangubashi Park (参宮橋公園) and then through a residential area characterized by pastel-colored buildings and peaceful streets.

The route follows a road alongside railroad tracks before reaching the historic Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine (代々木八幡宮), an important cultural site. Nearby, Shusse Inari Shrine (出世稲荷神社) offers a glimpse into Tokyo's spiritual heritage. The tour concludes at Yoyogi Hachiman Station (代々木八幡駅), wrapping up an insightful and picturesque exploration of this lesser-known but charming part of Tokyo.
