   Even better, take the Inokashira line (it goes from Shibuya) and get off   
   at the "Inokashira Koen" station.  It's at the very tip of the park   
   opposite from where the museum is (I've never actually been to the   
   museum but I saw it while it was under construction, so I know where it   
   is).

   I dunno, sounds like a promotional spiel ... :-)   [The park is nice but   
   the area around kichijoji in general seems pretty much like any other   
   place in the vast belt of tokyo suburbs it's a part of -- "tranquil" and   
   "undeveloped" are rather pushing it!]
