Features & How to Enjoy

Classic Nature

Highlights

Point 1

Facilities for Parents and Children to Enjoy Together

In addition to being blessed with rich nature, Showa Memorial Park has a variety of facilities for parents and children to enjoy together. For example, "Kodomo no Mori" has many play equipment that both adults and children can enjoy, such as fluffy cloud-like play equipment and athletic equipment. In addition, there are spots and events that parents and children can enjoy together, such as "Tombo no Shitsuchi" recommended for children who love insects, and regular crafting events. These are the attractions of Showa Memorial Park.

Point 2

Summer-Limited Rainbow Pool

Showa Memorial Park opens an outdoor pool called "Rainbow Pool" during the summer season. The pool boasts the largest size in the Tokyo metropolitan area and has a total of nine pools, including water slides, a flowing pool, and a big wave pool. There are also food stalls by the pool, so you can enjoy playing in the pool and eating while fully enjoying the summer.

Point 3

Rent a Bicycle for a Park Stroll

To efficiently move around the vast grounds of Showa Memorial Park, renting a bicycle is recommended. Rental spots are located near Tachikawa-guchi and Nishi-Tachikawa-guchi, Sunagawa-guchi, and each entrance within the park, making it easy to use. In addition to regular bicycles, unique ones such as tandem bicycles for couples are also available for rent. When cycling around the park, be sure to use the cycling road.

Point 4

Barbecue in the Great Outdoors

At Showa Kinen Park, there is a "Barbecue Garden" where you can enjoy a barbecue with family and friends in the great outdoors. The facility is equipped with basic amenities such as charcoal grills, tables, and chairs, as well as beer servers and tents to protect you from the sun. With a wide range of rental equipment available, you can enjoy a barbecue with minimal luggage.

Point 5

Hidden Gem Japanese Garden

As a hidden gem spot in Showa Memorial Park, the Japanese garden is highly recommended. The "pond and stream circuit style garden," which is the largest post-war garden at 6 hectares, is full of highlights. Enjoy the unique spots of a graceful Japanese garden, such as the changing scenery with the seasons and events held at the "Kankei-tei" where you can enjoy tea and sweets. It takes more than 10 minutes on foot from each entrance, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes for walking.

Access

A National Park within Walking Distance from Tachikawa Station

Showa Kinen Park is a national park located in Tachikawa City, Tokyo. It's conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the north exit of JR Tachikawa Station and a 2-minute walk from JR Nishi-Tachikawa Station. It's attractive not only for its accessibility from within Tokyo, but also from other prefectures, with approximately 30 minutes from Shinjuku, 65 minutes from Yokohama, and 35 minutes from Omiya. As it's expected that visitors will be strolling around the spacious park, it's recommended to wear comfortable clothes.

Sightseeing

Enjoy Seasonal Events in a Park in the City Center

Showa Memorial Park is a lush green park that you wouldn't expect to find in the city center. With over 800 types of flowers and plants, including cherry blossoms and tulips in the spring, and irises in June, you can enjoy them all year round. It's also a good idea to participate in seasonal events such as summer fireworks and winter illuminations. In addition, various events are held throughout the year.

日曜の午後に初訪問。園内はとても広いですが、案内板がいたるところに設置され迷うことなく散策できました！特に良かったのは日本庭園で、とてもきれいに整備された庭と池が素晴らしかったです。今度は春の花がきれいなときに再訪したいな！

ライトアップの際に友人と2人で伺いました。カップルも多かったですが、高校生のグループがいたり、女性同士、男性同士の方もいて、どなたでも楽しめると思います。高校の近くにこんな場所があったら…こんな高校時代過ごせてたらな…なんて友人と話しながら見てました笑イルミネーションがとても綺麗で、池に反射した木々の様子がとても幻想的です。コスプレイヤーさんが撮影のスポットにもされてました。そのくらい映えるんです。日本の庭園でしか感じられないものがあると信じてます。小さなことがどうでも良くなるくらいいい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ライトアップは期間限定なので、また来年のその時期に行ってみたいです。

愛知蒲郡から一度行きたいと思っていた国営の広大な都市公園。何と言っても巨大な芝生広場（みんなの原っぱ）が壮観！売店も沢山あって春のピクニックなんて最高だろうな〜
