Kita City Otonashi Shinsui Park (音無親水公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Otonashi Shinsui Park was created to make the most of the ravine that the Shakujii River (石神井川) once carved here. Shallow streams and small waterfalls are set through the grounds, and simply walking the tree-lined paths feels cool and refreshing. Although it is only steps from Oji Station, its quiet atmosphere makes you forget you are in the city. With plenty of benches, it is just right for a short rest before heading to the heated pool.

Tips

It is a few minutes on foot from the north exit of Oji Station, and most of the paths are easy to walk even with a stroller. In summer you will see children playing in the shallows, but some spots are slippery, so do not take your eyes off them. There is also a rest area nearby where you can eat and drink.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. Walking here in the cool morning hours feels especially pleasant
