In recent years, psychological effects of urban green spaces have drawn attention, but there is little knowledge about the relationship with the effects of green spaces structures. Therefore, we conducted comparative experiments on two green ways with different structures and investigated the influence of the structural diversity of the green way on the restorative effect. We conducted on-site experiments on the green way with 32 university students. We used the Japanese version of Perceived Restorativeness Scale for measuring restorativeness effects among respondents. Our results supported the hypothesis that the structural diversity in the green way could obtain a higher restorative effect.
