'''Yoyogi Park''' (代々木公園) is a large public park in the Harajuku area of Tokyo, Japan. The park is located near [[Harajuku Station]] and [[Meiji Jingu Shrine]] and not too far from the East area of [[Shibuya]]. Yoyogi Park is a popular gathering spot for Japanese and tourists, especially on weekends.

Yoyogi Park is the largest park in [[Tokyo]] if you include the area of nearby Meiji Jingu Shrine. The park contains vast areas of grass where people can play sports and lay out, ponds and fountains, and a huge number of trees including cherry trees, making the park a popular destination for [[Hanami]] parties in the spring.

==Youth Subcultures and Yoyogi Park==
The [[Harajuku Bridge]], where young Japanese go to show off their [[cosplay]] on Sundays is located between Harajuku Station and Yoyogi Park. Other youth subculture activities in and around Yoyogi Park include:
* Hundreds of Japanese indie bands and amateur Japanese idols who perform along the road that runs along the West side of the park and on [[Shibuya Koen Dori]] every Saturday and Sunday.
* Japanese hippie style drummer and dancers (and sometimes jugglers and other street performers) who congregate around the fountains of the park each weekend.
* The famous Japanese Greasers - the 50's retro style guys and girls who dance near the entrance to the park on Sundays.
* Sometimes on Friday or Saturday nights people will setup guerrilla all night dance parties where DJs play music and young Japanese drink and dance into the early morning.
