Kashiwanoha Park

Kashiwanoha Park is a 45-hectare urban park in Kashiwa featuring a central lake, landscaped gardens, and sports facilities throughout its grounds. Walking paths wind through the manicured green spaces and connect the different areas of the park.

The site was originally grazing land during the Edo period and became farmland following the Meiji Restoration. In the 1930s, an airfield was built on the grounds before the land eventually transformed into the park that exists today.

The Shohakutei Tea House reflects traditional sukiya design and serves matcha with Japanese sweets in a setting where tea ceremony customs remain part of the daily experience. Visitors can observe how this practice connects to the surrounding garden landscape.

The park is accessible by bus from Kashiwa Station West Exit Bus Stop Number 2, which connects directly to the Kashiwanoha-kouen chuuou station. From there, visitors can enter the park on foot and explore its pathways at their own pace.

The park takes its name from several species of native oak trees found throughout the grounds. These trees also serve as the official symbol of Kashiwa City.
