Reminiscent of Tokyo's autumn fairy tale: Showa Memorial Park

#2024TravelReview The Showa Memorial Park was built in 1983 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Emperor Showa's reign. The park covers an area of ​​1.65 square kilometers. There are two ginkgo "tunnels" in the park: "Katarai no Ichiou Namiki (98 trees, 300m)" and "Kanal Yanai (106 trees, 200m)" at the Tachikawa entrance, as well as a traditional Japanese garden and pond. From Shinjuku, you can take a direct train to Nishi-Tachikawa Station in as little as half an hour, and Showa Kinen Park is just a 1-minute walk from the station, which is very convenient. The park offers bicycle rentals and a small train service, which makes it easier to explore than on foot. The most beautiful autumn season is at the end of November. The first choice areas to visit are definitely the Japanese garden and the Ginkgo biloba area. I believe that after seeing the photos, you will feel that there is no reason not to come here in autumn. There are also limited-time lighting events at night during the autumn leaf season!
