Inokashira-kōen Station
Inokashira-kōen Station (井の頭公園駅 Inokashira-kōen eki) is one stop from Kichijōji on the Keiō Inokashira Line to Shibuya. The station is a local train stop, but express trains tend to halt during the spring blossom viewing festival.
It gives quick access to Inokashira Park, the source of the Kanda River and is a favorite spot for springtime hanami, or cherry-blossom viewing.
It's a quiet residential area with only a handful of shops and restaurants, but Kichijōji is only a 10 minute walk (600m).
The green open space behind Inokashira-koen Station and along Kanda river is often overlooked. Outdoor activities seem more appropriate there than in the artistic and crowded Inokashira Park.
