Institute for Nature Study (Minato)

#tokyospots Hidden in the heart of Tokyo, the Institute for Nature Study is a tranquil forest preserve that feels worlds away from the skyscrapers. A protected habitat with birds, insects, and native flora, it’s perfect for nature walks, birdwatching, or quiet reflection. The trails are well-marked, and educational signage provides ecological context. Entry is limited to preserve the environment, so it never feels crowded. A wonderful spot for families and solo explorers seeking natural peace.
