Moerenuma Park
モエレ沼公園
Designed by sculptor Isamu Noguchi as a park that is itself one large sculpture, with a glass pyramid, artificial hills and geometric fountains. A former landfill site has been transformed into an art park.
Moerenuma Park was designed by Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi. It was built over 23 years on a former landfill site and fully opened in 2005. The entire park is regarded as one large sculptural work. It features the glass pyramid HIDAMARI, the 62-meter-high Moere Mountain, the 48-meter-diameter Sea Fountain (with scheduled performances in summer), a beach and more than a hundred playable sculptures. In winter, you can go sledding. Entry is free. Opening hours are about 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Getting there: take the Toho Line subway to Kanjo-dori Higashi Station, then transfer to a bus for about 25 minutes. The park is large, so renting a bicycle is recommended.
Opening hours
