Inokashira Park is located in Musashino City, Tokyo. It is a famous maple viewing spot in Tokyo, especially from mid-November to early December every year, when the maple leaves in the park are at their best viewing period. There are more than 90 species of maple trees here, mainly Japanese red maples. The colorful red leaves and golden leaves are intertwined to form a beautiful natural picture. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll in the park, admire the maple trees on both sides of the trail, and feel the breath of autumn. The park's Inokashira Pond is a great place to enjoy the maple leaves. The colorful shadows of the trees are reflected on the lake, creating a picturesque scene. Visitors can choose to take a swan boat and admire the surrounding maple leaves from the water. This experience undoubtedly adds to the romantic atmosphere. In addition, there are many areas suitable for picnics in the park, where people can enjoy delicious food in nature and spend quality time with family and friends. #Tokyo Attractions #Japan Travel

During the Edo period, this park was used by the Tokugawa Shogunate for falconry. In the Meiji era, water from the pond in the center of the garden was used for the first time as the "Kanda Josui" water channel for the streets of Edo. From then on, the water in the pond was actually used as drinking water until the improved waterway was completed in 1898. This pond is now known as the Inokashira Pond. #井のカド恩仕公園 There is a statue called "Benzaiten" on the west side of the pond. It stands on a floating island in the pond and has a small bridge. The bright red color of the shrine's main hall contrasts sharply with the surrounding green, making it very ornamental. #100 Ways to Travel

🍀 This is Inokashira Park, located in Kichijoji, a hip neighborhood in Tokyo. It has a different feel and atmosphere from Shinjuku Park and Ueno Park, and you can see locals visiting the park with their families. I think this is why it creates a more peaceful and calming landscape. 💁 The Japanese-style pavilions and houses here and there give it a quiet feel. As you walk around the park, you can also see a monument that is said to be the background for the Totoro movie. If you ever visit Kichijoji, I recommend you stop by Inokashira Park at least once~!!

A zoo in the middle of Tokyo! This is a zoo in Inokashira Park that also has boats and a sea zoo. There are lots of rare animals like meerkats and otters! 🦦 Recommended for families, couples, and friends! There is also a squirrel park, and lots of cute creatures are running around! 🐿 How about stopping by after cherry blossom viewing? #CoupleTrip #WinterTrip #AutumnTrip #SpringTrip

🤧It has been raining heavily in Tokyo recently. It was so wet that I really didn’t want to go out to see the cherry blossoms. Besides, the cherry blossoms were soaked so much that they turned into bald ones. 🫣But if you don’t go and take pictures on a rainy day, you will definitely not be able to take pictures! 😍We chose the "Inokashira Park" next to Kichijoji today because there are cherry blossom trees on both sides of the Inokashira Pond. Although it was raining, we could still take beautiful photos. 🥹However, taking beautiful photos still requires a professional to hold the camera⋯⋯⋯He completely defocused me, and focused entirely on the cherry blossom trees. 🥶He said: "Isn't it to introduce cherry blossom viewing? What's so good about taking pictures of you?"

#Japan Attractions If you want to continue to enjoy the cherry blossoms after visiting Jindaiji Temple, you can go to Inokashira Park nearby. You can take Yoshi 04 or 06 for half an hour. After that, you can use the one-day ticket from Kichijoji to return to Tokyo. If you come from Tokyo, you can go directly to Kichijoji Station by subway. It is very close to walk🤗 As soon as you enter the park, you can see swan boats and small canoes floating on the pond surrounded by trees. It is the most suitable itinerary for couples🚣‍♀️ There is also a zoo and a shrine in the park, which is as rich and interesting as Ueno Park. It is also one of the famous cherry blossom viewing spots during the cherry blossom season🌸, but this time I only watched the end of the blooming🤣 Going in the opposite direction of the swan boat ride, you can see a small shrine dedicated to "Benzaiten" next to the pond. "Benzaiten", one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Japan, symbolizes eloquence, music and wealth🙏There is also a Ghibli Museum in Mitaka in Kichijoji, but I didn't go there due to limited time🤣

One of the attractions near Kichijoji Station, in autumn and winter, I took four elderly people to the park to take pictures and walk, they are comfortable and I can rest, after walking around looking for food, then go to the nearby mall to see things, slow life day

#cherryblossom25 Inokashira Park in Kichijoji was my peaceful escape within Tokyo. It’s one of those spots that feels less like a major tourist destination and more like a secret shared by locals. The cherry blossoms arch beautifully over the pond, and renting one of those little swan boats to paddle under the pink canopy? Yes, I did it — and yes, it was every bit as charming as it sounds. The petals falling on the water made it feel like I was inside a movie. I walked through the quieter wooded trails, stopped by a tiny shrine, and even wandered into the Ghibli Museum nearby. It was calm, artsy, and full of soft, poetic energy. I grabbed some crepes from a nearby café and just people-watched while petals floated past. Inokashira was more intimate than flashy — a perfect #cherryblossom25 spot if you want something quieter but still very Tokyo.
