Shimizu Park

A nature park established in 1894 known as one of the best places for enjoying flowers in the Kanto region. Each year from November to December, the park's ginkgo and Japanese maple trees turn red and yellow; particularly recommended is a fall foliage stroll through an area called Maple Valley. The sight of around 800 maple trees dyeing the entire vicinity a crimson red is nothing less than stunning.
