#thingstodo What a great nature reserve, 45mins drive from Central Tokyo - came on a Sunday at noon and it wasn't busy. It's more of a nature reserve vs park, come here to do mild hike (majority paved) and look at nature - they have a few areas were you could lay a sheet and have a picnic as well. Parking is 400 yen for the day and gates close at 5pm. Definitely worth it if you want to escape the concrete jungle.
