What other travelers are saying about Nakanoshima Park

15th November 2025 14°C night. I brought a friend here after coming here for the first time a week prior. I fell in love with this place and decided to come back for 2nd round. The illumination were beautiful, complemented by both the river and the night sky. The was also a water fountain display with music too. Definitely will be back here again. I felt a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is a one of the best place to heal and de-stress yourself after a hard week of work !

after finishing my coffee at Brooklyn, I visited this park. it’s located just across the coffee shop, separated by a river, so it was within walking distance. when I got to the park, some of the flowers were already in bloom. it was so beautiful, the flower beds were full of vibrant colors. everyone was taking pictures of them. the park is also perfect if you just want to chill on the grass or go for a run. I wish I had worn my workout clothes, I definitely would’ve gone for a run in that beautiful green space.

A must visit rose park during May when the roses are in full bloom - you can smell roses all around the park, and there’s so many different beautiful variants. We visited both during the day and during the night, it’s equally enjoyable. Also, make sure you take a stroll along the river, there’s a lot of cafes and things to see.
