Myōshōji Park

Myōshōji Park contains a pond that forms the source of the Myōshōji River, which flows eastward through the Suginami district towards Shinjuku.

The park officially opened on April 1, 1963, during a period of urban development when Tokyo expanded its public recreational spaces for its growing population.

The park derives its name from the neighboring Myōshōji Temple, reflecting the traditional Japanese practice of connecting natural spaces with religious landmarks.

The park includes playground equipment and walking paths, making it suitable for families seeking outdoor activities in the Suginami neighborhood of Tokyo.

The pond within the park serves as both a water source and a natural habitat, contributing to the local ecosystem of the Suginami district.
