Stroll a park famous for cherry blossoms and view the steam locomotive on display

About this spot

Asukayama Park is one of Kita City's signature parks, loved as a cherry-blossom spot since the Edo period. The grounds sit on a low hill, where a steam locomotive and a Toden streetcar that were once in real service are on display, popular with children who love vehicles. A small ride called Asukarugo carries visitors easily to the top of the hill, so even families with little ones who find slopes hard can move around happily. A historical museum connected with Shibusawa Eiichi (渋沢栄一) stands next door, offering a touch of history. The lawn is broad and just the right size for moving about a little before the water play.

北区立元気ぷらざの温水プールは、通年営業している屋内型のプールです。営業時間は午前9時から午後9時までで、最終入場は午後8時30分、遊泳は午後8時50分まで受け付けています。屋内施設のため天候や気温に左右されず、春から秋にかけての水遊びシーズン以外でも安心して利用できるのが大きな魅力です。地域の親子連れが日常的に利用する公共施設で、近所感覚で気軽に立ち寄れるのも嬉しいポイントです。午後からゆっくり入って、夕方まで泳いだり水遊びをしたりと自分たちのペースで楽しめます。

Tips

The park is right by JR Oji Station (王子駅) and the Asukayama stop on the Toden Arakawa Line, so access is easy. Asukarugo is free to ride, so make use of it if you would rather avoid the slope. There is little shade around the display vehicles, so remember a hat and plenty to drink in summer.

Best time to visit

About 50 minutes. The morning is less crowded and recommended for a relaxed look around
