Sarue-onshi Park, Metropolitan park in Koto, Japan.
Sarue-onshi Park is a metropolitan park in Koto offering spaces for different activities across its grounds. The northern section has tennis courts and an open plaza, while the southern area contains a baseball field and a civic hall.
The land once functioned as a timber storage yard for the shogunate administration. It was transformed into a public park in April 1932.
The park holds a connection to its past through a recreated timber storage structure that shows how people once stored logs using water. Walking through this space, visitors can sense how the land's working history shaped the neighborhood.
The park is easily reachable via Sumiyoshi Station, served by both the Toei Shinjuku and Hanzomon lines. Entry is free, making it accessible for everyone without any admission barriers.
A stream of about 300 meters built from natural stone winds through the grounds, creating water features in different sections. This water element adds a calm quality to the space that visitors might not expect in a sports-focused park.
