Flow of the course

About this spot

One of the largest parks in the prefecture, spreading across the Arakawa riverbed. The air inside the woodland of tall trees stays cool even in midsummer, and spreading a picnic sheet in the shade makes a very pleasant lunch spot. It is also known as a bird-watching site, and if you listen carefully you will hear all kinds of calls. The grounds are so vast that it rarely feels crowded, making it easy to create a space just for your family. The sense of openness, which makes you forget you are in an urban area, is this park's greatest charm.

Tips

The park is very large, so deciding on your car park in advance saves you from getting lost. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so insect repellent and a long-sleeved layer keep you comfortable. Shops are limited, so bringing your lunch and drinks with you is recommended.

Best time to visit

About 1.5 hours. Around lunchtime, with plenty of shade, is the most pleasant
