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
Went on 22Mar, Sakura was in full bloom and picnic is definitely the best way to enjoy the beauty. Crowd starts to come in from noon, by late evening it got really crowded. Bonus, there was a playground, free mini zoo and a small amusement park. It kept the kids occupied the whole day in the park.
