Asukayama Park

Asukayama Park in Tokyo’s Kita Ward is one of the city's oldest parks, known for its stunning cherry blossoms planted during the Edo period by Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune. In spring, the park transforms into a vibrant hanami spot, attracting visitors with its scenic beauty. Beyond the seasonal blooms, it offers cultural attractions like the Asukayama Museum, Paper Museum, and Shibusawa Memorial Museum, showcasing local history and Japan’s papermaking heritage.

Families and history enthusiasts enjoy the preserved SL steam locomotive, an old tram car, and spacious play areas. The park’s hilltop location provides great city views, and the free Asukayama Monorail makes access easy. With a mix of history, nature, and recreation, it remains a beloved escape in the heart of Tokyo.
