    Tokyo Adachi-ku Kohoku 2-8-4
    "This public park is located near the Kohoku Junction on the Shuto Expressway. Situated next to the elevated Shuto Expressway running along the Arakawa River. The park's grounds have been planted with around 20 cherry trees called the Satogaeri-zakura (""Cherry Trees which Have Returned Home""). In 1886, 3,225 cherry trees spanning 78 varieties grew along a six-kilometer-long stretch of the bank of the Arakawa River in the area. The area bustled with visitors come to see the cherry blossoms in the spring, and the sight was described as being ""decorated with five colors"" (a phrase which can also simply mean ""colorful"" in Japanese); in turn, the cherry trees came to be called the Arakawa Goshiki-zakura (""Arakawa River Five-Colored Cherry Trees""), which in turn became the derivation of the park's name (which literally means ""Five-Colored Bank""). Later, the cherry trees gradually disappeared due to construction work on the bank and pollution; later still, saplings were collected from the cherry trees in Washington DC which Japan had once gifted to the United States, and these were then planted here as the Satogaeri-zakura in order to restore the sight of beautiful cherry trees growing along the river. Today, the Satogaeri-zakura continue to bloom beautifully in the spring, making this one of the most famous destinations for springtime cherry blossoms in Adachi, a ward known for its many beautiful cherry blossom-viewing locations."

    Tokyo Adachi-ku Toneri 4-5 Kojiyahoncho 4-8
    The 1.7-kilometer-long agricultural irrigation canal running through this area has supported farming in the area since ancient times, but in 1984, it and its surroundings were turned into a public park in order to serve as a space for rest, relaxation, and refreshment. A walking path has been built along the canal, and there are also numerous water play zones for young children, and in the summer the park bustles with families. There's also a semicircular pool in the park in which preschool-aged children who no longer require diapers can play in for free in the summer.
  • Iko Ruins Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Tokyo Adachi-ku Higashiiko 4-9-1
    This public park and site of historic ruins is located close to Iko Hikawa Shrine. A variety of artefacts dating to 1,500 years ago have been found here, as well as 4,000-year-old late Jomon period pottery and 1,600-year-old early Kofun period artefacts. Because of the huge amount of pottery, magatama comma-shaped stone jewels, and other artefacts discovered here, it is thought that it might have been an important site where many festivals and religious rituals were held. A hokei-shukobo (square-shaped ditched tomb), a type of tomb thought to be the predecessor to Japan's famous Kofun keyhole-shaped tombs, was also discovered here, and visitors can view a recreation of it as well as a recreation of an ancient pit-dwelling on the grounds.

    小さな子ども2人を連れて訪問しました。 連休にもかかわらずそこまで混んでいなくて、伸び伸び楽しめました。 紙すき・染色室では、紙すきや糸づくりの工程を教わることができ、面白かったです。 子ども向けの遊具広場は、あまり種類がなかったこと、猛暑日に訪問してことで子どもたちはあまり遊びませんでした。 次回は予約制の野菜収穫体験やワークショップへ参加したいです。

    Tokyo Adachi-ku Nakagawa 5

    分岐前の中川に面した、広大な公園です。下水処理施設の真上にあり、緑化事業の一環でできた公園です。というわけで広場と植樹に熱心な印象で、大雑把な感じが否めません。洋種が多いので、紅葉の時期は綺麗かなと思いました。

    少し駅から距離ありますが歩いていける距離と思います。 非核を祈念する塔が公園内にあり、平和を願う言葉が彫られた碑もあります。私が訪れたのは残暑残る時期でしたが、夏は水遊びができる場所になるとのことでした。タカラトミーの社屋がすぐ近くです。

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
