Asamiya Park, Urban park in Kasugai City, Japan.
Asamiya Park is a city-run sports park in Asamiya-cho, Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture. Its grounds hold an athletics stadium (Spore Kasugai, opened 18 July 2021), tennis courts, a baseball ground, a children's garden and an open free square. A Japanese-style garden near the main gate is a spring blossom spot, and the site is bordered by the Shinkizu Canal to the west and the Hatta River to the east.
Asamiya Park was long run as a prefectural park before its transfer from Aichi Prefecture to Kasugai City management on April 1, 2017. The city then opened Spore Kasugai, its athletics ground, on July 18, 2021. Near the main gate stand a stone monument to Asamiya Palace and Asamiya Shrine, traces of the area's earlier history.
A Japanese garden by the main entrance displays cherry blossoms during spring and draws many visitors. This seasonal sight shapes the experience for people who come to the park at that time of year.
The park is reached from JR Katsukawa Station on the Chuo Main Line by Meitetsu bus bound for Komaki Station or Kasugai Municipal Hospital, getting off at Takayama-guchi stop, about three minutes on foot. The grounds lie in Asamiya-cho, Kasugai, with the New Kizu Canal along the west side and the Hatta River along the east.
The park lies between two waterways: Shinkizu Canal runs along its western edge and the Hattagawa River along its eastern side. Near the main gate stands a stone monument to the Asamiya Palace, and Asamiya Shrine is close by.
