Akatsukayama Park

Akatsukayama Park contains over 600 species of trees and plants across multiple themed sections, including Japanese flora and medicinal herbs.

The park began its public service in 1937, transforming a section of the former Musashino woodland estate into a managed natural space.

The Manyo Yakuyo Garden section preserves medicinal plants referenced in the Man'yoshu, an eighth-century Japanese poetry anthology.

Visitors can access the park daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM through Narimasu station, with a 15-minute walk from the train platform.

The park features a dedicated sports facility with baseball fields and track stadiums, alongside areas for picnicking under zelkova trees.
