Established in 1903 adjacent to the Imperial Palace, Hibiya Park doubles as an unexpected treasure hunt for geological and cultural curiosities. Scattered along its tranquil pathways are remarkable international gifts and relics, including a massive 4.5-foot disk of Micronesian Rai stone money, an authentic research boulder brought back from Antarctica in 1966, a replica Nordic runestone, and a multi-million-year-old fossilized pine trunk. Together with classic gardens and historic statues, these eclectic geological treasures make a leisurely stroll through central Tokyo feel like an open-air world history excursion.
