Tachikawa's Showa Kinen Park isn't content with merely hyping sakura: #flowerfestival #its Flower Festival takes place over three months and celebrates the blooms of tulips, now until May.26,2024.Showa Kinen Park, as the massive green space is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

#springblossom Tulips were in full bloom in spring, mainly in the mountain streams, and their vivid colors were as spectacular as the autumn leaves in a Japanese garden. If there are no people who don't wear masks and don't feel anything, you can enjoy the best spring air. There was also guidance on which areas were suitable for photography. This is helpful because you can see which areas are blooming, and you don't have to walk around in vain. In terms of distance, if you come from Nishitachikawaguchi station, I think it will take about 5 minutes on foot.

#cherryblossom2024 🤗💕 While on our amazing holiday, I embarked on an exciting adventure to the bustling city of Japan. The onset of spring had added a unique charm to the area, and we felt invigorated as we strolled through the renowned Showa Kinen Park. Exploring the lavish landscapes of this scenic haven, we were captivated by the stunning sights that awaited us at every turn. This expansive garden located in Tachikawa, a mere half-hour train ride away from Shinjuku, is a haven for seasonal blooms, particularly the enchanting cherry blossoms. The sakura trees steal the show, harmoniously juxtaposed against vibrant nanohana fields, creating a mesmerizing fusion of yellow and pink hues. Moreover, visitors can marvel at a breathtaking assortment of cherry blossom varieties, with the park boasting an impressive collection of 31 different types, including the iconic somei-yoshino and yamazakura trees.

#thingstodo The park is huge beautiful and have many scene to take photo, many area for picnic and also good for relax or any activity with your family, friends or even your pets. You can visit and relax here for all day, I have only half day here and could not discover all the area of the park, in 2023 the Autumns color is a bit late, so it would be very beautiful when the leaf color was completely changed. The are some senior staff that willing to help and give you necessaries information, there are so friendly.

#2024wish Almost three months, we have been waiting for enjoying the autumn beauty in this park. Finally we visited here!!! A eye-catching scenery, many things to watch, and for it’s full of beauty, I will obviously recommend this place for seeing the best view of Autumn. I don't know how it looks in other seasons, but you should obviously visit if you want to enjoy the Autumn scenery. Though, you have to buy Ticket, obviously because it’s a beautiful place and need big amount for maintain cost, but I was shock as I have to buy ticket for two times. From 9 to 4:30, you need to buy a ticket of 450 yen(adults) for enjoying the day scenery. But for enjoying the night, which was more attractive, you have to buy a ticket of 1200 yen(adults). Though if you buy the ticket from their website, you can save 200 yen as you have to pay 1000 yen! Whatever, for it’s attractive view, I think it wasn’t a waste of money project for me!!

#2024wish Nice place to have a picnic with family and friends and for pets too. Many types of flower garden to choose from dependent on the season. Love this place especially during spring season with the tulips. Must visit for a chill day. Very huge park with variety of flowers and so many ginkgo trees. The entry fee is 450 yen per person per day. Bicycles are available on rent for ease of transportation within the park however there may be a long waiting time on weekends or holidays. The photos came out very nice and my spouse was really happy. The Japanese garden within the park is really wonderful.

During autumn, it is full of stunningly beautiful red and yellow foliages from the maple and gingko leaves, and the land area is very big at several hectares.

It is a must visit for those who yearned for a nice autumn experience in Tokyo, but be sure to be there earlier not to miss any spots.
