昭和の森, Public park in Toyota, Japan

Showa Forest is a park in Nishinakayama-cho, Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, next to the Aichi Prefecture Greenery Center. It opened in April 1981 and is divided into named zones: the Memorial Forest, where Emperor Showa and Empress Kojun planted trees at the 1979 National Tree-Planting Festival; the Friendship Forest, for Jiangsu Province and Victoria; the Learning Forest, a wetland with wild plants; the Sports Forest, with a field athletics course; the Bird Forest, with a trail for birdwatching; the Hometown Forest, with natural woodland paths; and the Outdoor Life Forest, with an exchange hall and barbecue area.

The park opened in 1981 to mark the 50th year of Emperor Showa's reign. The imperial couple participated in a nationwide tree-planting ceremony that helped establish the grounds.

The park's name comes from the Showa era, and its Memorial Forest marks the spot where Emperor Showa and Empress Kojun planted trees at the 1979 National Tree-Planting Festival. The Learning Forest is a wetland where visitors observe wild grasses, and the Bird Forest has a trail for birdwatching; the forest bathing area was chosen among Japan's 100 best forest-bathing forests.

The park has designated barbecue areas with cooking facilities and is laid out with paths connecting all zones. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as most areas are outdoors.

A Friendship Forest section honors partnerships with Jiangsu Province in China and Victoria State in Australia through dedicated plantings. These international ties are an overlooked part of the park's story.
