Mizumoto Park (水元公園) is located in Katsushika Ward of Tokyo and is the largest park in all 23 wards of Tokyo. This does not include Showa Kinen Park, located way out west in Tachikawa city. That area is not a part of the 23 special wards that make up what we know as “Tokyo city”.
You can access this park from Kanamachi Station and walk about 20 minutes north of the station or take a local Keisei bus to get there.
The park was built in 1965 as a green space to help people enjoy more greenery since back then the air pollution was very high and people didn’t have easy access to forests or parks. It was built and is maintained by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
The park is located directly across the Edo River from Matsudo city, in Chiba prefecture, where I live. I can actually see the sequoia trees in the distance from my apartment building.
The park has a nature preserve on-site, a huge lake, tons of open park space, many planted and wild trees, a bird sanctuary, and much more!

Hi Moist Fam & everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chill walking tour of the biggest park in Tokyo's 23 wards. What did you find interesting about the park? Or what did you enjoy the most in this video? For me, it was the tall vertical trees with the sun shining through them and making the grass glow. So beautiful! Thanks for watching and see you in the next video!
Around the corner
Saw this video pop up on the notification, and I immediately paused twilight to watch it lol
I love all the fish!! Great video!
nah its not boring. Its a park! nice and soothing ~
I love the blue bridge
Hi Cory from sunny Las Vegas,loved the park walk,very peaceful. We have nothing like this here,
I always visit this park when I go to Japan. The foliage in the fall is really nice. So weird they don't have a bridge that goes across from the Tokyo side to the Saitama side and you'd have to walk all the way around.
Was that rat the real life Mickey Mouse????
Nice walk,Cory.Thanks! Liked seeing all the dogs at the dogpark.
Just a really beautiful place.
Very beautiful park Cory
Thank you for the walkalong on this beautiful day. It looks like spring has arrived in full force already. That park really seems huge, and so many waterways. What did the sign around 40:49 say?
Very nice Park Cory perfect weather to
58:44 Gunpowder or NCR?
This park is beautiful and so are you Cory 😉 Take care
Dude, my wife loves Liliuokalani Park in Hilo because it's kind of clean but also, everyone is cool. The park your at is it's grandparent. I wish we had more like it in Hawaii. Too many homeless & mentally disturbed individuals flown in, in the past 20 years or so🥺.
Sorry…anyways…love the content brah!!!🙏🤙🤙🤙
Very interesting to see the world through your eyes. Really love the experience. Thank you so much for your work!
Thank you for the walk
Great video my Friend! Like!
Hell noooo, we all just got watching you LIVE STREAM yesterday and today your new VDO uploaded. Cory, you just spolied your subscribers for more. hehehe
Damn, those ducks almost got themselves a nice rat meal but just couldn't quite get it. Bummer! Man those fish were too cool as well…
This park is beautiful and so are you Cory 😀
This park is beautiful, and so are you Cory! 😉
A nice walk , Cory 🙂 beautiful park and a wonderful weather.
Hi Cory! I just found your channel a couple of days ago and I really love your walk around videos 🙂 I've loved Japan since I was a teenager, and turning 33 next month; I still haven't made my way there….yet! I'm hoping Japan will be back open for tourism by late fall or even winter as I'm hoping to make my way there. Fun fact, Mizumoto park is 238 acres compared to Central Park in NYC is 843 acres 😮 very cool! Anyways, just wanted to say hi and keep up all that you do, and here's to 100k by the end of the year! 🥳
These types of vids are great for my morning treadmill walks🤩 it's like having a nice park walk with a friend! Thanks Cory!
Watched to the end, beautiful park, nice and peaceful, near where I live we have a lovely park, you can also go across a big bridge over a railway track which leads to a river, then follow the path along the canal, it can take an hour and a half to walk, it's amazing, you see countryside all around you 😀
Hey pretty boy 😉😋. This park is SO BIG. I live in a town that is settled in forests and the ocean. I've lived in cities but never seen a park this big before! Those talllllll trees were amazing and my favorite. What a nice way to spend time.
First time on your channel Cory. This walk video was a therapy for my eyes, my ears and my soul. I never knew this side of Tokyo exist. Also loved the commentary. Thank you for this walk.
it's a great video watching while chilling with my morning coffee.

There are lots of parks in my town, but most of them are dedicated to sports fields rather than being places where you can just enjoy nature.
Long walk, long message 😅 you've been advised: Hi Cory! 😀I liked the variety of trees and flowers, as well as the observations decks for birds. Thank you for this long and exausting walk in this very beautiful and large park. 🦆🌺🌳 I hope after that you went to refresh yourself, ouffff ! 👍🥵🧋🚿 By the way, I met you a few days ago when you met Tokyo Explorer. I subscribed to your channel immediately after this meeting. I am a Canadian from Province of Quebec and I have been following other Youtubers for some time in Japan, because I love this country of peace. Maybe you would like to know who are the other Youtubers, so here are the ones that I'm watching the most often: ''Tokyo Explorer'' from Sweeden, ''Virtual Japan''( he's an American too ) and ''Only in Japan Go'' with John Daub ( John Daub is also very interesting and sympathetic to watch, he's a former reporter for NHK, he's also an American from the New York area, lives in Japan since the begginig of the year 2000, near Ginza), and of course there's you from now on ! 😀 Your content is very interesting and pleasant to watch and I am very happy to know that you are there, you have found a new fan. Btw, I'm French, so sorry if I'm making a few mistakes in English, but I'm doing my best to improve myself all the time ! One last thing, I'm not into chatting very much on the streaming screen, so I don't think you'll see me there very often, but I'll be there watching don't worry. Have a nice day and I'm looking forward for your next videos ! 😊👍
This park is beautiful and so are you, Cory.
Most comments seem to ignore your questions, Cory.
This park is beautiful!
And so are you Cory!! 🤣❤️
Mizumoto Park is beautiful and so are you;). Will need to add this to my places to visit in Tokyo. Congratulations on 10 years on YouTube.
Are there weddings held here? I think it would be a beautiful park to hod a wedding at.
Beautiful park, and so are the crows (!). The "I've seen this before, but have no clue what it is" I think are iris. The beautiful flowers with the bees I think were peony. The giant weeping tree was I think a weeping Katsura. I saw some what looked like labels on trees. As an educational space, parks should have a space where they identify plants and animals and maybe some nature information on the ecosystem, as well as possible information on the gardening or care of the plants.
