I also really like the Yoyogi park, but the freaks that are out there or Harajyuku, hmmmmm ..... some do, some do not, well, a matter of taste. Or is it because I'm not as young as you, lol ......
Regards

It reminds me somehow to the Ramblas in Barcelona, ​​where you can find everything.
I guess for them should be like a breath of freedom after a week routine.
I have really enjoyed the drums and tap dancing girl.

This park, regardless of whether larger or more beautiful, is the same as here in Barcelona Ciutadella Park. The same type of people doing exactly the same things. The only thing that there are Japanese and there are European. The world is quite monotonous.

I wish I had so parks in the area where I live, for four parks around here and Porretas the typical brats have made the finches. One site that I hope to visit when you go to Tokyo are parks, recommended to me Ueno Park, especially for hanami, for those who are interested in this park here you have the map , you enjoy

Regards

For those who dream dreams parks in Tokyo, do not be fooled ... Ueno Park, there is no grass is cement, and is full of beggars and crows. Yoyogi Park on a weekend of good weather (which is really when people go to the parks) is so crowded that the stress relaxation becomes. Also the grass is not at all care and lie is not very appetizing. The best park in Tokyo, is in my opinion Shinjuku-Gyoen. You have to pay to enter (about 200 yen), but there precisely lies the good. Fewer people, large areas of grass perfect style parks in England and trees and landscaped gardens.

Thanks for your comment, Anonymous. So do you learn when you explain things critically and unencumbered by idealizations.
To me everything is free in the background seems very expensive. First because it is not free, and paid with the money we all pay through taxes and secondly because what is offered by the money we have paid is infinitely poorer quality than consiguiríamos paying directly for something that interested us. Also in this second case, apart from getting better quality, we would much cheaper, as there is "lost" money passing through the hands of many "disinterested administrators."

Although I must also say that we are talking about Tokyo, which, as has been said many times, Tokyo is not Japan. I do not doubt that there are parks elsewhere much better. Without going any further, just outside Tokyo, KoganeiKoen Park is lovely. Of course it will not see timbales, or juggling or other circus is in Yoyogi and Harajuku around, but families seeking a relaxing day outdoors, kids playing baseball with their parents and other family pictures. It all depends on what you seek. If you are a tourist in Tokyo, you might call more attention the first ... If you live there and I just want to read a book quietly in the sun, then you have to find you alternatives.

Alain the other day killed the mayor of Nagasaki! as not written anything about it! , The amount far in Japan? information etc. ..?

Anonymous: Yoyogi Park is presisamente to enjoy the playing and running around the lawn. In the park you say stop do not think all those things.

Bape: No, I heard a while ago. This week I've been very busy with work and studies and have not stopped at home.
I have understood he was killed according to the Yakuza for being a corrupt mayor, so that sometimes are not as bad the Yakuza.

Anonymous: Thanks for precision. Well, I would keep the parks of the family pictures. The juggling of the drums and now I have to bear it here.

That good feeling there in that park, reminds me of hippies concentrations xD
While in Japan for sure smoking pot in a public area you put a fine ciborium ... xD

Alain-kun

"... Sometimes not so bad .. Yakuza" Hmmmm, I think it's wrong to think that way, because even poblemas which have, in killing people does not solve anything. And that the mayor was corrupt, I think it is accurate.
Let me explain a bit what happened.
It seems that the yakuza, disagreed with the city of Nagasaki, for a number of construction projects. He also had some problems, in an accident in 2003, because his car had fallen into a well of a building that was doing the city of Nagasaki at the time. That is, the entire city was to blame, or rather the mayor, and not him. And also did many things, but if I explain I get a little long, so I abstego in writing them.
I just want to say that problems are not solved with violence, and the yakuza, who are in power, the real Yakuza are educated people, and not bother people, but those who do these stupid things are members. So I can not say that this man, "sometimes is not so bad."
Everyone has their thoughts, but I hope you understand me.

Greetings.

nora, "and the yakuza, who are in power, the real Yakuza are educated people, and not bother people, but ..."

how the yakuza are involved in power? I in my ignorance I have associated with gambling, prostitution and so on, but I never had no idea how far they can go.

A greeting!

Javi,

Neither do I. I have not much information on the yakuza, and I have no relations with them. It's something I heard. Perhaps the way you wrote is incorrect.
And it's not yours ingnorancia you think that way, because I think that "work" they do is gambling, prostitution, etc.. And I do not like at all.
Just wanted to say that there are yakuza who behave properly, but do those "jobs".
I hope my words do not misunderstand, I say again, I do not like any kind of yakuza.

Uff things as we deviate from the parks to the yakuza, change often XD, I think you should open a IRC Alain such things, I say to people do not go to other issues, it's not that I look bad, but the truth is that an IRC on this site would be really interesting, if only an opinion, as you can see I pasao yakuza parks and the IRCs XD if not.

Regards

This video ... I think that would stick more in the previous post XD

It will be that has seeped

Types with crystal balls and sack Kirai also one of its entries for some time.

Angel for you the best can be a quiet park and the talking on the outskirts of Tokyo with parents playing baseball with his children, but young people you are looking for fun as they do in the uploaded Alain. People may disturb the toms by noise, but they are causing trouble juggling?

Andraeil: Man, that to generalize it to "young people" ... I think there are many types of clients, like many types of old, and that everyone will have your taste and your vision of things. What tends to happen is that those who give more the note or make more noise appear as the "genuine" representatives of a collective, in this case age, and sometimes not. There will be young people that they love the drums and juggling and other nag them a lot. There are tastes for all.
I did not say that that necessarily bother juggling (those of the drums of course yes, for my taste). I meant that if you ever go to Japan, which will cost me, both personal effort and money, I will not waste my time going to see things I have here a shovel and I do not like that above, as in the case of juggling. But come on, if there are people who like to make these games, as to make them, if not disturbed, sometimes it does bother, a lot. Also not usually people, at least the ones I see around here, too conversational and polite when someone proposes ways of looking at things different from what they admit. Furthermore, since it brings up the subject, could wash a little from time to time, that water and soap I do not think that hurts anyone.

Sorry I was wrong xD

JAJAJAJAJA
Very good that water and soap Angel
Those who are juggling you mean you are Punks, many (most) squatters living at home or on the street with the starving dog included. They only know a couple of juggling tricks they use to beg on the street.
These hardly racionaras because many of them are a junkie and I tell you the experience of being in more of a punk Rave and my brother have gotten some known by that scene.
Apart from these, there are people who simply likes to juggle as a hobby and do really well as some of my acquaintances.

PS As I imagine you will not know it's a Rave, here's the description: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rave

It just depends what you want for a park. If what you want is to even touch ball, frisbee and other outdoor activities, entonce Yoyogi admittedly not a bad place, but I insist that a day which is full, you'll get more people flying balls because there is too much, without the drums, the people playing instruments ... There is a park to relax. But as I said before, it all depends on what you find in a park. In addition to me (and I repeat, for me, not everyone has to consider important) the state of lawn care and that is a park is important. In Yoyogi I did not put me to walk barefoot to feel the grass, but in the Shinjuku payment itself. It is a pleasure.
Yoyogi is to see it once or twice, and that's because you always see the same fauna. For years I saw the same man practicing the trumpet, causing a terrible roar, and never got to play better than the first day I saw him. Alain, if you come back next week to see them playing the drums, the same girl from the tap and the glass balls. And the rockabilly and skaters from the park entrance ... It's like a showcase for foreigners to draw their pictures ... To see and be seen.

And speaking of raves ... Do not miss that typically mounted on the audience right there at the opposite end of the park. Only if you like the insistent techno, of course, it seems that is what pulls in those lares.

Yes, yes, Andraeil, I meant that. You've described perfectly. Those that are made a mess with the dog pulgoso included and that they mess with everyone who is not his game. Ah, not knowing that they were also junkies. Where do they get the money? Because the truth is that when they start asking people to dodge and flee from them as soul to the devil.
Sure, sure, no doubt others will have to be skilled in other arts such juggling and do so with dedication and seriousness. In fact the people who work in circuses and similar in some ways would have to start.
We actually do not know what that was Rave, but began to suspect, because a friend who lives in Diagonal Mar told me that for the festival of San Juan had seen youngsters of these "punks" on the beach for hours and hours move like robots, and so thinking, thinking I figured that should be the joyous Raves.

Very good's description of Anonymous Yoyogi Park. That the guy playing the trumpet, causing a terrible roar, without ever getting better, it's great. There are certainly bright people here.

Best regards.
PS By the way, Yoyogi Park, do you have anything to do with Yogi Bear? (Yes, I know, as very bad joke).

Angel, as these people apart from asking for the street, often taking money out of selling trinkets to make themselves (bracelets and so on) or sell drugs (this being the most common case)

Anonynous: Yes, I meant to be in the park on the plan you mention, custro hit a ball kicked, hit four jumps and drink if given the chance, I mean, things that can not be made in the center of City normally.
It is clear that there are other people who prefer a quiet park to be lying, but now is not the typical park I feel like. I guess that comes to my hair kanji ARASHI, ahhaha.

Angel: No, if I see any bear by Yoyogi'll tell you, ahhaha.

Angel: If you do not like juggling and drums, that's fine, there is a very simple solution for that, and do not go through there and that's it, if you do not like you go and just.
