What other travelers are saying about Negishi Forest Park
As a foreigner visiting Japan, my visit to Negiri Forest Park was a great way to interact with friendly locals, enjoy the Sakura and enjoy a beautiful walk away from city crowds. Worth a visit.
I accidently found this park on google map and decided to take a look. Turned out it's a perfect place for Hanami (admiring cherry blossom).The expanse of the area is ample, so there's no need to fret about finding a spot to perch or pitch your tent. Furthermore, the cherry blossoms in that location are breathtakingly beautiful, making it an ideal place for a group of freinds or families to relax and unwind.
However when I arrived at around 12:30am the parking lots are already full. You might need to plan your parking ahead to avoid wasting time looking for spot.
Motorcycle and bicyle parking space available, also is free of charge.
A nice wide open park with plenty of space for kids to run and play, picnicking, etc.
Especially appealing during cherry blossom season in April.
There is nice trail around the perimeter of the park that is very popular with joggers.
Beautiful park. The cherry blossoms are not ready just yet. Maybe 2 more weeks and they will be in full bloom
Edit: 28March2023 the cherry blossoms are beautiful
Very family friendly park for family activities such as picnic, light exercise, and walking You can do jogging in the park as well. During cherry blossom season, the view is breath taking.
