Pet-friendly Nogizaka! Introducing an urban oasis and relaxing cafe

What kind of town is Nogizaka?

Nogizaka is the area around Nogizaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda in Minato Minato Ward , Tokyo . The Nogizaka area has many green spaces, such as Nogi Shrine and Aoyama Park. It is a wonderful town where you can spend time in nature, even though it is in a prime location in the city center.

In the next chapter, we will introduce fun spots in Nogizaka that you can visit with your pet, divided into morning, lunch, and afternoon spots.

Please note that the opening hours and access times of the spots introduced here may change depending on the weather and traffic conditions on the day, so be sure to check the latest official information before heading out.

[Morning] Nogi Shrine and Nogi Park

Start your morning with a stroll through Nogi Shrine and Nogi Park. Walking through a shrine in the morning gives you a different feel than usual, and brings you a sense of tranquility. Strolling through the historic shrine and park and enjoying the air brought by the rich nature will make your day refreshing.

At both Nogi Shrine and Nogi Park, you can take your pet for a walk outside the buildings. In addition to Nogi Shrine, there are many other historical and tasteful buildings remaining on the grounds, such as the former residence of General Nogi and the former residence of General Nogi, a stable for the general.

Enjoy lunch on the terrace where you can feel the fresh air and greenery. We would like to introduce you to Cafe BleuMontagne, which has a high-quality, Western-style interior and exterior.

Please check the official website for details such as the menu and contact information.

The concept is to recreate the relaxation of Japanese and Western culture from the Meiji period.

The distinctive feature of the cafe BleuMontagne is its elegant Western-style interior and exterior, which is reminiscent of the time around 1900, when Japan first began to adopt Western culture. The bonsai displayed inside the cafe can be said to be a symbol of Japan.

"Enjoy the aroma of coffee in the Meiji era amidst the Western scenery"

That is the concept behind the BleuMontagne coffee shop. After experiencing the atmosphere of the Meiji period at Nogi Shrine, be sure to take in the aroma of Meiji-era coffee.

Terrace seating where you can relax with your pet

Cafe BleuMontagne offers terrace seating for pet owners, where they can relax and enjoy the fresh air outside. The terrace seats are lined with white garden tables, and can be used by just the two of you and your pet, or by friends with pets.

The surrounding area is decorated with lush potted plants, creating a relaxing space exclusively for our guests. Relaxing while gazing at the blue sky and green trees while surrounded by the skyscrapers of the big city will bring you peace of mind.

If you have pets with you, we recommend you try the extraordinary experience on the terrace at Cafe BleuMontagne.

A special menu with a variety of dishes to suit your mood, from classics to unique treats

At Cafe BleuMontagne, you can see the attention to detail that goes into the menu.

The drinks available are varied, ranging from standard coffee and tea to the somewhat unusual Sansho cafe latte, and nostalgic drinks such as melon cream soda are also available.

SHARE GREEN MINAMI AOYAMA is another recommended spot in Nogizaka where you can relax with your pet. It is surrounded by lush greenery like a botanical garden, giving you a sense of openness.

The square is lined with cafes and green shops, making it a popular spot for those looking to take photos that will look great on social media. Depending on the season, collaborative cafes, workshops and other events are also held here.

[Afternoon ②] Aoyama Park

The spot adjacent to the north side of Share Green Minami Aoyama is the Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama Park (North). In spring, many tourists visit the park to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

If you head south along Nogi Shogun Street, which runs along the west side of the station, you will see Aoyama Park (South). Aoyama Park (South) is lined with playground equipment and is also used as a multi-purpose plaza.
