Absolutely stunning that such a quiet and serene place can exist in the midst of an extremely busy and bustling metropolitan setting. We experienced complete silence at times, other than sounds of birds and flowing water. Seemed to be visited mainly by local folks - did not appear to be a tourist's destination at all. Very well worth the visit!

The park is beautiful all year round, but it's trendy during cherry blossom season in late March to early April. Autumn, when the leaves change color, is also a great time to visit.

Lovely quaint park outskirts of Tokyo. Great for kids, with a mini amusement park and mini zoo. Amusement park is coin operated so bring your coins along. Lots of clean benches around for a nice picnic too. Plenty of toilets available too
Totally polluted oil slick waters from nearly all waters here in park. The ones without oil, had a thick sludge of pond scum throughout the water. Poor birds and fish.
