Tetsugaku-dō Park (哲学堂公園, Tetsugaku-dō Kōen) (literally, Temple of Philosophy Park) is a public park in Tokyo, Japan. Most of the park is in Nakano Ward, while approximately 7% (at the south-eastern edge) is in Shinjuku Ward. It was created in 1904 by Inoue Enryō, philosopher and founder of Toyo University, as a place for spiritual training.


Tetsugaku-dō Park has a play area for children, toilets, a Japanese garden and a plum garden.

Small tower called "Rokkendai" to worship six wise men.
