Showa Kinen National Government Park (国営昭和記念公園) - Keiryuu Plaza

Flow of the course

About this spot

A water play plaza in the Tachikawa area of Showa Kinen National Government Park that becomes one of the busiest zones during summer vacation, packed with families. The area features fountains spraying up from the ground and flowing water channels, making it a summer staple where many children visit with a change of clothes rather than swimwear. On the day of the fireworks show, crowding increases from evening onward, so it's wise to complete water play in the early afternoon. After moving around during water play, change clothes and cool off before heading to the next spot. With a single park entrance fee, admission is valid for the entire day, so you can move freely throughout the park.

Tips

A 5-10 minute walk from JR Tachikawa Station North Exit or Nishi-Tachikawa Station to the Tachikawa entrance. Admission is ¥450 for adults, free for middle school students and younger. The water play area has changing spaces and foot-washing stations, so be sure to bring a change of clothes and towels for children. There is also a shop.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. Sunlight is intense in late morning and early afternoon, so be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat
