Nature Park Centered Around the Spring Pool That Is the Water Source of the Hikiji River

About this spot

A nature-rich park developed around the spring pool that is the water source of the Hikiji River, with scenic walking paths surrounded by trees and wooden walkways along the water that bring a pleasant coolness. Despite its proximity to the urban area, the park is home to many wild birds and water creatures, and you can enjoy leisurely walks while observing nature. Even on hot summer days, there is plenty of shade, making it a pleasant place to start your day before heading to the festival.

Season & hours

Name: 東林間サマーわぁ!ニバル

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat)–8/2 (Sun) 17:20–20:00

Venue: 相模原市南区・東林間駅前大通り(シャンテ大通り)

小田急江ノ島線・東林間駅前のシャンテ大通りを会場に開かれる、地域密着型の夏祭りです。2026年は8月1日・2日の2日間の開催で、コースの対象日はその初日にあたります。本番は17時20分から20時までですが、出店は商店街加盟店や地域の活動団体によるもので、14時30分ごろから通りに並び始めます。大手企業ではなく地域の店と人が中心となって作り上げる、あたたかく手作り感あふれる雰囲気が魅力で、駅前の通りが提灯と出店の明かりに包まれるひとときは、家族連れでにぎわう夏の風物詩です。

Tips

出店は14時30分ごろから始まるため、早めに訪れて雰囲気を楽しむのもおすすめです。会場周辺は歩行者天国になり、駅周辺の駐輪・駐車スペースが限られるため、電車での来場が便利です。

Hours: 14:30–

Where: 東林間駅前大通り沿い(商店街加盟店・地域活動団体のみ出店)
