Or even better, Ueno Park is an ocean!
And don't even get me started with Shinjuku Goen, Higashi Goen (near the Imperial palace), Hibiya Park.

Gee I know Tokyo is concrete haven than most cities in Japan, but parks do exist in freaking captial cities. The one's I listed are just tourist trap ones even.
Just walk off the main path, turn a corner or two and you may be pleasantly surprised at what you'll find, especially in a country like Japan.

Depends, as some parts of Tokyo ARE pretty concrete. I think he's just not been looking.
Still. I think it's a good idea to take a day trip out of Tokyo sometimes.
