Gather with friends and enjoy waterfront views in Shiokaze Park.

The expansive boardwalk runs throughout the park.

Friends flock together for a summertime barbeque beneath the trees.

Music is essential for a party. Bring your iPod and speakers if you don't have a record player to take along.

Shiokaze Park offers open spaces, which are hard to come by in central Tokyo.

Climb around on the artistic sculptures entitled "Sunday Afternoon on Shiokaze Park Island."

Shiokaze Park, situated on the man-made island of Odaiba, is the largest park in the Tokyo waterfront area and is a popular location for picnics, barbecues, parties and basically any sort of get together one can conjure up. Shiokaze can be accessed by train, bus and water-bus. The park is conveniently located just five minutes from Daiba Station via the Yurikamome Line.

The park features green spaces overlooking Tokyo Bay and the Rainbow Bridge. During the summer, a relaxed barbeque with friends by the sea makes for an easily accessible weekend escape. Before setting out for the park, be sure to pack up your snacks and libations, as it is sure to be a long day in the sun! Reservations for grills are recommended during the warmer months (050-5835-0493).
