🌿 Start your morning in a park where you can regulate your breathing and at a stylish cafe — A peaceful time spent in Yoyogi Park and Gaienmae

🧘♀️ 1. Meditation in Yoyogi Park — A quiet moment to feel the breath of nature
A five-minute walk from Shibuya, Tokyo, Yoyogi Park is an urban retreat with its vast lawns and trees.
Many yoga groups and meditators gather in the park in the morning, and by around 8:00 AM, silence descends, filling the mind with the present.
In this quiet, orderly space, meditation focused on breathing and mindful walking naturally deepen.
This moment is a time to gently escape from the activity of the city and return to your center.

☕ 2. Take a break at Starbucks in Gaienmae
After meditation, walk through the greenery to Gaienmae Station on the subway and then to the Starbucks Minami-Aoyama 2-Chome branch, just a short walk from there.
