Shakujii Park

A park rich in natural beauty located in Musashino. The center of the park is occupied by two ponds—Sanpoji Pond, surrounded by trees; and Shakujii Pond, which bustles with visitors rowing to and fro on small boats. Here you can enjoy seasonal flowers and trees, and observe wild water birds. The park is also dotted with tennis courts, baseball grounds, and an athletic field, among other facilities. A popular destination for cherry blossom viewing in spring, each year around 220 Yoshino cherries come into bloom from late March to early April; around 20 hill cherries also come into bloom around mid-April. In addition to the areas around the park’s ponds, the avenue of cherry trees next to the park’s service center is also a must-see. Toilets, shops and parking available. The nearest station is Shakujii-koen Station.
