Asukayama Park in Tokyo’s Kita Ward is one of the city's oldest parks, known for its stunning cherry blossoms planted during the Edo period by Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. In spring, the park transforms into a vibrant hanami spot, attracting visitors with its scenic beauty. Beyond the seasonal blooms, it offers cultural attractions like the Asukayama Museum, Paper Museum, and Shibusawa Memorial Museum, showcasing local history and Japan’s papermaking heritage.

Families and history enthusiasts enjoy the preserved SL steam locomotive, an old tram car, and spacious play areas. The park’s hilltop location provides great city views, and the free Asukayama Monorail makes access easy. With a mix of history, nature, and recreation, it remains a beloved escape in the heart of Tokyo.

What other travelers are saying about Asukayama Park

A spacious park great for Cherry Blossom Viewing & Picnics. A great place to bring kids too since they have a big playground. We went on a weekend and it was really crowded. There are several museums available too which I really enjoyed.

A lovely park with lots of green area and a huge playground. The hydrangea were beautiful. I’d love to come back for a picnic or a long dog walk.

It's probably lovely here during hanami. I visited (both by choice and chance, when I randomly got on the Toden-Arakawa tram line) during the end of spring. Flowers have pretty much fallen from the trees but I loved having a walk around. It was a pleasant place to have a breather and there were a lot of people out for some morning exercise. The free mini monorail was nice.

This park was built in edo period and provided to the general public. It has been famous for hanami of Sakura blossoms. I came at early morning and already some people taking pictures. I came by taking the famous Sakura tram. You could also take pictures of tram with Sakura.

The park is not very big but nice. It contains three museums (of which the Paper Museum is the most interesting one),=an open-air stage (I attained an amateur show of very enthusiastic aged people and schoolgirls (from a junior school), very lively!); here is a kids' playground with a climbing hill/slide, and exhibits of an old streetcar s a steam locomotive which kids can climb. Of course there are toilets. Also, the park boasts fountains – and very likely THE shortest funicular monorail in the world (free)! Not a must-see bur definitely worth visiting if you're around.
